I really can't complain about life in Utah. This is the street leading to my home. So everyday I look at the Big Brother of Mt. Topachou - minus the snow on the top. Utah is the home of the Rocky Mountains. It's awesome. Can't wait until I get to ski, snowboard, and snowmobile this winter, hopefully (I still have not acclimated to the cold, cold winters here in Utah).
Here is my house. My kitchen is in the back where we have excellent views of the mountains. Our home is only 20 minutes away from several ski resorts, 20 minutes from the world's richest hole (a copper canyon that is phenominal - with real huge Tonka trucks that is several stories high with tires that cost over 10K, we're about 30 minutes away from the famous Great Salt Lake - USA's version of the Red (dead) Sea. It is 5 times saltier than the ocean and it's famous for its buoyancy. You just float naturally! If it didn't stink as bad, I would be floating away. And of course, we are home to the LDS church (Mormons). We are only 20 minutes away from Temple Square.
... so after bragging about life in Utah, my sister, Jodene Atalig and her
fiance visits. We went to almost all the tour sites near my home, but she needed the solitude you feel at Temple Square. The temple is BEAUTIFUL. It looks like a castle that belongs to the Queen of England. It's so peaceful and serene that the constant interactions with the many missionaries was tolerable. :)

Now, my soon to be brother-in-law Joe Flores couldn't complain. Where else will he get the affection and love from the Mormon Pioneer ladies that LOVE the modern man. My sister was ready to leave.... is Utah truly the land of the polygamist? Run, Jodene...run, oh and take Joe with you, that is...if he wants to leave. :)
You never know what is in store for you, living in Utah. And YES it is true, the kids are brought up the Old Fashion Way. Pioneer style. My two boys, John John and Teancum loving the outfits and tending the lambs.
So that's life in Utah. Simple and old fashion. NOT!

Hi Carlene,
I stumbled upon your blog searching about life in Utah. My name is Frank Santos from Guam and I was researching about the possibility of relocating to the mainland with my family of 4.
Would appreciate some info on the pros and cons of Utah...things in general like the cost of living, taxes, etc.
Great home you have there!
I visited Saipan in 1988 for a few days. It was great.
Anyway,have a nice day.
