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.

AMEN SISTA!
you tell it girl
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!
the promised land? never heard that one. hah.
and it makes me laugh when people down here say welcome to the real world. for real? the real world? its basically a mini version of our great provo.
