Provo Provo Provo!

I am home! I am so excited to be here. I am very grateful it wasn't snowing when I drove back and that my car made it safe and sound and I am sooooo happy to see my family!

Can I vent for second?

I go to school not in Provo with people who aren't in Provo and many who aren't from Utah County. If I hear one more person give me a hard time about Provo... I have heard it all: "oh, you are from the promised land?", "ew, last time I drove through Provo I got so sick to my stomach!", "you're from Provo, well welcome to the real world sweetie", "hate to pop your UC bubble", or I this good one I heard the other day "maybe people from Utah county should just never leave, they all need to go to BYU and eat their jello together" (direct quotation). Seriously. I am very proud to be from Provo. I think it's a great place. Yes I know there is a bubble and that BYU kids can be semi-crazy, but really? Just because I had release-time seminary, I can walk to church, and almost all of my friends growing up were members of the church, doesn't make me a bad person or doesn't make the place I am from a bad place. 

So there.

I keep telling myself "One more year and she'll be back home!" I miss you already. Sorry this weekend was kinda boring (with the exception of Saturday!). But, you know, there's nothing to do in Provo! KIDDING! I love Provo too! People who give it a bad rap are just jealous! I love you!
