Utah

I'm in Utah for a few weeks pursuing some job leads. One of the best things about Utah is the mountains. They are amazing!


From what I remember, they explode with color in the fall. I've always thought that somebody should paint the Rocky Mountains in fall.


But the mountains come with some drawbacks. Do you see that haze at the bottom? That's air pollution. The Salt Lake Valley has some of the worst air in the country because the mountains keep the pollution right where it is.


When we were students at the University of Utah we lived in married student housing. Here's the playground that Josie played on for the first few years of her life. Sometimes she and I would get up early in the morning and go for bike rides around the playground so Mama could sleep.


One winter morning, we saw a bunch of deer feeding in the playground. It was a great way to wake up.


And here's the student housing apartment where we lived. This is the place Josh was born. Mama delivered him in the kitchen, overlooking the playground.

Utah has some good memories for our family.
