I love our condo. Luckily we still own it, but I miss living in it. I miss walking up the three flights of stairs. I miss the smell of our condo (I thought it smelled good... but if it had a weird smell that I didn't know, don't tell me). I miss the jetted bath tubs! And the central air conditioning. And the granite counter tops. And the vaulted ceilings, and the ceiling fans, and having a washer and dryer. I know I'll have a house that has all that some day, but I still miss it all. And I miss my Utah friends. I know we're all still close, but we're all so far away... from Los Angeles to Dallas to Salt Lake to Boston. That's a lot of miles to travel.
I miss the park in Orem behind Orem High School that I'd run in, and go to play with Jen and Jersey while Rob and Ryan would play tennis. Jen.. remember that crazy thunder storm that came while Rob and Ryan were playing that summer evening? And the skies suddenly turned black? That was awesome.
I think I miss the memories most of all.
Going to San Diego and Las Vegas with everyone
Yoga and Zumba Thursday nights and Saturday mornings with Jen
Staying up till 3 a.m. with Jed and Jess during our sleepovers
"Buddy stories"
Jersey's cuteness
The excitement of family visiting from Connecticut
Park City outlets on Black Friday
How the sky looks over the mountains when it storms in the summer
One word: Bailey
Christmas parties with the friends
Maybe the reason I miss all of this is because it is where Ryan and I started our lives together. And don't get me wrong; I love Boston. And I'll miss Boston one day.
But right now, I'm missing Utah.
But right now, I'm missing Utah.
Sigh.
Oh, and guess what.. I've stopped biting my nails! I know I say this every 5 months or so, and then go back to biting, but I'm hoping this time it's for good! Thought I'd throw that in there :)

ahh...I'm so glad you posted this! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you for not biting your nails!! I miss you so much all the time and I hope one day we'll get to live by each other again. Luckily we can still have our sleepovers when we visit each other wherever we are :). And YES your condo smelled amazing! I thought that every time I walked through the door. I think I'll miss Texas similar to the way you miss Utah when we move away. It's our first experience away from home so it just has an exciting and independent feel to it. SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU IN MARCH!
