the confusion of having two homes

things i missed about utah:
- my sharp knives. missed them so much i forgot how to use them and sliced my finger open while chopping veggies.
- water purifier
- having more than 4 of anything -- we have SO many spoons here! amazing.
- DVR. we keep forgetting we have it and sit through commercials anyway.
- two cars
- lots of friends
- big family get-togethers
- great harvest bread
- j dawgs
- two bedrooms

things i miss about colorado:
- lots of windows and light in our apartment
- jaran & deborah right across the street
- the lone tree library
- park meadows
- our neighborhood
- driving by sky ridge every day and knowing that's where we got j
- church with non-utahns
- dropping b off at work every morning
- our big couch, high countertops and big fridge
- trash valet
- colorado sky + thunderstorms

can't i just have one home that includes all of these?

I've just come to realize no where is perfect. This is a new revelation to me. The grass will always be greener on the other side. It's kinda sad actually.

I was just thinking of doing an entry like this!! I feel the same way!!

hang on to those SPOONS. I can guarantee that your kid will help you lose them (or put them in the trash for you).

I've always been torn between two homes - Utah, the place where I grew up and where the extended family is & Cali, where each of my kids was born and has grown up so far.

Yes, the grass may always be greener on the other side, but it just may be that a lot of people are looking at your side and thinking it's mighty green!

that colorado home sounds like a real dream. i want it too. But hey atleast in Utah you have me!

Maybe we should just knock down the divider wall and we could have a kitchen big enough for a BIG fridge and new countertops....

And DVR- what a treat :)

I know!! If only their powers would combine into one SUPERHOME!!

Colorado misses the Wells. The coolness factor, which is pretty high, went down a little upon you moving out.

So...you don't know me, but I stumbled upon this post. I am from Littleton, Colorado and live in Pleasant Grove, Utah currently. I loved your little list! Thanks for making me nostalgic (especially about those Colorado thunderstorms).
