Our Hill, a point of reflection.

Back when I was in College and a single guy, I lived not to far away from a hill, basically I wanted to see the whole valley that I was in coming from a small town to a big city. I found the perfect hill to sit and reflect my life. I wondered if I would ever get married, have children or make millions. That was way back in 2000 and now 10 years later here I am. I have returned back to the very spot and only a block away from were I was living with some room mates of mine. I am now married and have been for 6 years, no children (cats maybe) I now have a Associates Degree and working on my Bachelors to be finished by next year some time. Instead of going up on "my" hill it is now OUR hill, Linda's and mine. We come and reflect, relax and just enjoy the view. The above picture is not accurate at all, but it conveys the message. We usually are there at sunset and to overlook the hustle and bustle of SLC is amazing. We once watched a thunderstorm and fireworks going off for 4th of July. We say "we saw gods fireworks that night!" To more recently - We drove up little cottonwood canyon (snowbird etc.) and the canyon was amazing! The rain lately has made the trees so green and next to the granite stone - truly breathtaking. Then with a thunderstorm and rain we headed to our hill, along the way we saw a stunning 2 rainbow! At our hill we watched the rainstorm roll by and roll on again along with the background music thunder! We danced in the rain that night along side a hill above the chaos of our lifes. We each need a hill to get away from all the pain sometimes.. we are looking forward to new adventures and new trials along the road of life and say farewell to Alan as he has moved on and moved out from our apartment. We love him and wish him the very best.
