Another reason to like Provo.

Some days I really miss California, my home, a lot. It's not homesickness as much as I like a lot of things about California much more than i like things in Utah. California is warmer, for instance, and the winters don't get cold and dump snow everywhere. There's the beach an hour away back home, and Disneyland within an hour, and all kinds of other things. It's been so good for me to live in Utah as I attend BYU, yet sometimes I feel like I'm living in a bubble here.

Well one of my favorite things back home is the sunsets; the small desert town I come from has the most beautiful sunsets that you would not believe are possible. The sky turns red and yellow and the clouds turn black and purple as the sun sinks below the horizon. I remember when I was younger climbing onto the roof of our second-story house with my sister to watch the sunset many nights.

The other night I was walking home from class and had reached the parking lot of my apartment complex when I saw the sky lit up like this and had to take a picture. It's not nearly as pretty as the ones I grew up with, but seeing this sunset was actually comforting. I'm not really that far from home,
and I do like Provo a lot. Sometimes I just need a reminder of that.
