You've probably already all seen this, but I still think it's all humorously true.

you know you live in Utah if:

-your local Dairy Queen is closed from September to May.
-someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there.
-you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time.
-you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed the wrong number.
-'vacation' means going anywhere south of Salt Lake City for the weekend.
-you measure distance in hours.
-you know several people who have hit a deer more than once.
-you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C' and back again in the same day.
-you install security lights on your house and garage but leave both unlocked.
-you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching.
-you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
-the speed limit on the highway is 75 mph -- you're going 80, and everyone is still passing you.
-driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
-you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction.
-you find 10 degrees 'a little chilly'.
-you actually understand these jokes and forward them to all your friends.

oh goodness.... it's not that bad.

minnesota is way worse in the winter...

I like to think of utah with the most wonderful welcomed spring, the short, yet dazziling fall (where anything is bound to happen).

It is the best place to fall in love, to find truth, to see beauty..

i miss it terribly.
good thing I am going to call it home for the next year - at least.

I think my favorite is the speeding on the freeway. Seriously! I went to Kaysville last week and I traveled at a consistent 80mph, and I was being tailgated in the middle lane.

my favorite color is green said...

well, if i wanted to, i'd make up something for michiganers or something.
