7 years

As of today I have officially lived in Utah 7 years......meaning I have officially lived in Utah longer than I have ever lived anywhere else. (If that's not depressing I don't know what is)


My family lived in Oakton, Virginia (which is just outside of D.C.) for 7 years.  That was the longest time my parents had ever lived in one place since they had been married. We lived in a gorgeous red brick house that I absolutely adored from the first moment I saw it. It even had the cutest little gazebo right by the stream that ran through our yard. It was too perfect!



Our old house is currently on the market and I really wish I had the money to buy it and move back. Yes, I do know this because I periodically google our house to look at pictures of it. I'm a dork, I know!
To see pictures of the inside check these out.

 When I was 13 years old my family moved to Sandy, Utah. The move was definitely rough and took a lot of getting used too. I sure do love the gorgeous view of the mountains from my bedroom though!

I'm sad to say that I have not been back to D.C. since we moved. I love D.C. and everything about it (except for the humidity, of course) I love the history, the museums, the culture, the metro, .....the list could go on and on......

There have definitely been pros and cons to living in each place but I still miss D.C. and will hopefully return one day.



Also, today is my dad's birthday!!! Happy Birthday DAD!!!
