...I Decided to Have an Adventure

In Colorado. So in T-minus 25 hours I will be moving to Aurora, CO. I'm not quite sure how this all came to be- the last two weeks have kind of been a blur for me, honestly. All I know is that my lovely sister-in-law Jenn has been begging me to move there for years and so I must have just gotten tired and given in. At least that's the excuse I like at the moment.

But truth- I get bored easily. I get antsy if things stay the same too long and I feel like nothing productive is happening in my life. Hence why I moved approx every 4 months in college. Maybe not the most practical thing to do, but hey- I was never accused of being too practical. Sometimes I think I should reign in my spontaneity- those moments always result in me moving somewhere whether it be Utah, Colorado, or the Middle East (yes, I actually did do that once...). But they've always done me good. So I think I'll keep it up. For now, at least.

So friends, while I've grown to love Utah, it's come time for me to pack up and have another adventure. I'll let you know how it goes...

Oh, but in completely unrelated news- has anyone else noticed that Honda CR-Vs seem to be the most popular car lately? I swear I see at least 10 of them a day. Or is that just me?

Stupid cars.

...I Drove Through Provo in the Spring

Let's just be honest- Provo is an anomaly. It just is. As much as I hate to admit, it really is in it's own little bubble. Up until about a year ago I lived in that bubble. And kind of hated it. But now I'm realizing that bubbles might not be so bad after all. It's a little refreshing being able to live in a place with people who have (somewhat) the same standards as you. Now I'm not saying that I don't enjoy living in the "real" world as well. I love it! But let's just say I'll take the Provo crazies over the "real" world crazies any day. But I digress...

Yesterday I drove down to Provo to have dinner with one J. Ashlee Draper. One of my favorite people ever. Seriously- if you don't know her you probably should. Because Ashlee still lives in Provo, I had the opportunity to drive through town to go meet her. While I was driving I started looking...and watching....and realized Provo in springtime is kind of ridiculous.

Let me explain: Provo is full of students. Students who, for the most part, want to get married. And they want to get married NOW. During the winter this fact can be somewhat ignored because these students are rarely seen outdoors. They hole up in their warm houses where they can revel in their matrimonial desires whilst leaving the rest of us at peace. But springtime means the sun comes out- and stays out. And consequently brings with it all the starving students (who aren't just starving for food if you get what I mean). So I got to drive through Provo while watching all these students frolic around. Don't get me wrong- I find it terribly amusing. It just reaffirms that Provo is an anomaly. The rest of the world isn't like this. But I'm glad that for at least a few years of life the only worries these students have are finals and whether or not that cute guy in Econ is going to talk to them.

Moral of the story? I'm moving back to Provo. Enough of this real world junk.
