Ode to Provo

Oh Provo, how we will miss you. We leave in 9 days and there is not even enough time to soak in all the love we have for Provo and cherish it. Here are some things we will miss:

1. The people. The old friends. The new friends we met who have already moved on. And the current friends we will leave behind.








2. The 1 bedroom apartment that we lived in all 4 1/2 years of our marriage. And Amelia's first home.






3. The ward.

4. BYU campus.



5. Mountains so close. And gorgeous scenery.




6. The Brick Oven chicken noodle soup.

7. Joe Vera's.

8. Walks in downtown Provo.

9. Sitting on the grass behind Provo temple.

10. The drive to Target along University Ave.

11. 7 Eleven being packed at midnight on weekends.

Provo has treated us well. Juan will be back to BYU in the fall, but we will not be living in Provo. So this is good bye.

in response to your comment: I know, i know, I know! I think it's nasty too...thankfully I never needed it...it had been in a round container (like a yogurt container) in the freezer, so it froze in that shape...so it just looked like a big clob of red frozen in a cylinder shape...
