The Title is Utah, it is As Much Spotlight As I Am Willing to Give

I love it when I have my mind made up about a thing, anything for that matter. I can be a very indecisive and confused person from time to time. But, when you are sure about a thing, you feel like you have made a step toward becoming more of a defined person.

My new opinion, actually just a confirmed opinion.

Ready.

Arizona is the best state in the USA.

When I was little I set one life goal that I was actually serious about. I promise, I have had more than one goal in life, but don't be disappointed when I tell you. When I was about eight I decided that I wanted to visit all fifty states. So far I have been to fifteen of them. Each one has something exciting to offer, but my most recent to visit to Utah for the fourth time is what I would like to briefly talk about.

This past weekend Brett and I, and his family, all took a drive, through Las Vegas, to Provo to visit some family and watch Andy, our brother in law, perform on the trumpet at BYU. Andy is fantastic. He plays in the US Army band, works at Arlington Cemetery, tours the world... He is very talented, a super dad, makes fantastic lemonade, and is just really nice. It was my first time seeing him play, aside from mini Christmas programs in Sheri's living room, so that was cool. That was the main reason for our trip to Utah. We also got to see his kids and Krista, which is always fantastic. They have a new baby girl we got to see and we got to watch Clark wear the Jordan's we bought for him forever ago. And... we got to laugh with Casey. 

That was the good part of the trip, not the good part of Utah.

I will give my two sentences on the bad part of the trip and that is it. The car ride was horribly uncomfortable. It was also stinky. 

Now. Arizona is the best state in the USA, Utah doesn't come anywhere close to being the best. 

Hello people, I don't know why you live in Utah! Three out of my four visits to Utah have been wet, cold, and snowing! According to my calculations, Utah is miserable seventy five percent of the time. It looks dirty, everyone's car is trashed and their license plate is bent halfway up. Last I heard you still can't get caffeinated soda on campus. The freeways are about as nice as the ones in Los Angeles and there is only one Apple Store in the entire state. Which by the way, is difficult to get assistance at when you want to make a purchase. I had to raise my hand, to get an associate from across the store, but he was very nice.

Utah residences, I hope I haven't entirely offended you. There are some wonderful things about Utah, but for the sake of this post, I can't go into those details cause it would contradict my current opinions. Please just know that you guys are still good people, you just need to relocate to maybe Arizona.

So, Arizona is simply fantastic and the best, but I already knew that and so did you.
