I ♥ OREGON

Why I ♥ OREGON....

- It's HOME! I lived in Oregon until I went off to BYU. Oregon is still and will always be considered home.
-GREEN. I love seeing green all around me. It is absolutely beautiful.
-TREES. I love love love trees.
-RAIN. This will be my 5th winter in Utah and I have grown to love and yearn for rain. I love the days where it rains non stop. That rarely happens in Utah and I cherish those days when they do come around.
-FOG. Yesterday it was foggy all day. It was awesome.
-FAMILY. Most of my family is here in the Portland area. I love coming home and spending time with them, especially at the holidays.
-PUPPY. I love my dog with all my heart. I really miss Duke while I'm at school. I never knew how much a dog could/would change my life and mean to me until we got Duke. He truly is a best friend.
-DIVERSITY. Portland and Provo are on opposite ends of every spectrum.
-SALES TAX. Or the lack thereof. A JBC off the dollar menu is really a dollar!
-SNOW. When it snows, everyone freaks out. The news is on 24/7. No one can drive. Everyone is outside sledding, making snowmen, and just having a good time. The best was when school would cancel for an inch of snow. Ahh, the good ol' days.
-CHIPOTLE. The Mexican goodness needs to come to Provo (within the next 4 months).
-HIPPIES. Enough said.
-BLAZERS. Rip City.
-VALET PARKING. For bikes.
