Out in Utah for the week
I had to sneak over to a Starbucks coffee to get a little time on the net, but things are going well out here in Orem. It’s a beautiful place, the mountains surround the city have a beauty that I cannot describe, and to make them even more beautiful, they are covered in snow right now. Truly this is a good place to wake up every day, I’m sure I could get comfortable here. I’ve thought this way about Utah since my first time here a couple years ago, and I feel it now. Someday, I’ll live here, just not sure when.
It’s been great hanging out with my son, Eli. He has grown so much since I seen him last, and now he is not such a baby. I regret not seeing him for 5 months, but there was little I could do about it. My plan now is to fly to and from work out of Utah, then travel to California in the middle to visit with my daughter. This way I can see him for a few days on either end of my vacation, and stay with my daughter through the middle. It’s the best thing I could come up with, to this point.
I am actually thinking that the next time around I will just drive out here, but I have a lot of work to do on the truck for it to be ready for that. Hopefully, I can get that done this time around. When Mia is out of school, I plan on picking her up and bringing her out here for the time. I have all of July off, so this should work out good for that. I plan to get some good camping and sight seeing in then. Moab, here we come!
I think that I mentioned this already, but I’m riding the train from Utah, to California next week. This will be a first for me, I’m pretty excited about it! The only bummer is that it leaves at 9pm and travels through the night, but that’s ok. The part that I really wanted to see was going over the Sierras, and that will be in the day time. All should be good, and fun. I’ll keep you posted on that one as well.
