The weather up here in Logan was beyond perfect today. So, I obviously went outside and enjoyed it. As I was sitting on the half-dead lawn in front of my brown apartment complex, I closed my eyes and took a trip. I traveled back to the very first day I entered elementary school. It was my 3rd grade year, and I was scared out of my mind. I went back to the cold basement family-room of my old house where my brother and I would spend hours building extravagant hot-wheels racing tracks. We would put car after car after car on those tracks and watch them accelerate to their eventual, unavoidable crash. I continued my journey to my sophomore year of high school: first dates, new experiences, and lasting friendships. I skipped to this past summer. I have never traveled through so many changing scenes. First "official" job, first love lost, college preparation, packing, goodbyes, excitement. Then I traveled to today. Right here. I opened my eyes and the sun was just beginning to face behind the western mountains, enveloped in vibrant pinks, oranges, and blues. I thought about all of the reasons I have to smile, and I went back inside. I had a pretty good trip. :)
