Dreams

One of My Dreams

I don't know when exactly it happened, but somewhere within the past couple years I fell in love with this town.  I love everything about it.  The climate, the people, the temple, the D on the hill (especially when it's lit), Dixie Rock, the town square (with its carousel), the tabernacle, the college, Airport Hill, and everything in between.  

I have a dream that one day, after having lived outside of the state for a couple years, I want to come back and build a house in this lot (or a lot near here) that overlooks the city.  I can't tell you how many nights I've spent looking out over the city, pondering, praying, wondering, hoping, mourning, laughing, loving, smiling, cheering, and dreaming.  I may not have been born here in St George, but my heart surely would tell you otherwise.  

That is why when I found this lot, I knew that I was coming back.  I knew that my dream house overlooked this town that I love so much.  This is one of my dreams, to live here, and every morning watch as the city comes to life and every night gaze as the city slumbers with those I love most at my side.

Are you from Dixie?  I like to think I am.

Love,

Me

Last Summer

Yesterday I bought a climbing harness.  This is a big step for me, because although it just looks like a regular climbing harness (and it is) it means so much more for me.  Last summer I swore that I was going to take up rock climbing.  It sounded so appealing to me and I was fairly certain that  I would enjoy it.  However, not once did I get the chance to actually go. It was actually kind of disappointing.  The thing is, it was an aspiration that I had that I wanted to fulfill, but I just never made it happen.  Well this summer is going to be different.  I know where I want to go and what I need to be doing and that's the big difference.  I have some solid direction in my life.
