I have to apologize to Utah for being so hateful toward it this winter. There were a few storms that I wanted to pick up and leave immediately, I thought I was going to die driving on the freeway. But then February came and totally redeemed itself! I needed to write about this because I wanted to make sure I remembered that sometimes mother nature takes pity on me and gives me a better February than I could ever ask for. I went on my first bike ride of the year yesterday. It was sixty degrees and absolutely beautiful. I had the biggest grin on my face as I pedaled along the mountain roads behind my house. I love where I live. Right now Salem is too far away from the rest of my life but I wouldn't mind settling down there for good in the distant future. It's amazingly beautiful and I love being so close to the mountains and farms. I knew this was going to be a good year!
