> If it makes you feel any better, you're not alone when it comes to being sick. If you had come to California, I probably would have given you the bug, too. This particular strain seemed to be extra-evil, so I'm hoping that was it for the season. Frankly, I don't have the time to be sick.

Actually, that DOES make me feel better....hehehe. How's that for selfish? :-)

> Before I get you depressed, I will come to my point: The move had its good things. First of all, I met Sean. That definitely makes it all worth while. Second, I met a lot of new people, learned a lot of new things, and saw a lot of new places. I'm still learning and seeing new things every single day. Third, I've expanded my world and broadened my thinking. I've "stepped outside the box," so to speak. And last, but not least, I know that I can always go back to visit. The mountains and the trees will still be there, waiting for me. For now, I can continue to have new adventures and learn more about this amazing world that we all live in.

I find I am learning new things every day. And I've only been here a week! The culture here is so different from Utah, and I find that is pretty exciting. It is also beautiful, with the onset of fall. The leaves are turning and there is a bright array of colors: oranges, reds, yellows, purples. I've really never seen anything like it. Utah is pretty, too, with it's Mountains (which deserves that capital letter!) and desert. And yes, the desert can be pretty, too.

I really do like it here, and even if it's not home, I can still have fun. Right? I sure hope so.
