The Feeling of Home

In mid-September, Erik took Claire golfing at Mountain View Golf Course for the afternoon. I think Erik pretty much considers the golf course his home. After all, he does spend most of his time there in the summer. I love that Claire is old enough (and behaves well enough) to go golfing with her Dad. From what I heard about this outing, they both had a blast. Erik shot two under, and Claire loved running around, driving the cart, and practicing her swing.

Erik and Claire were gone for a good three hours, so I decided to take Ethan and Khloe on a walk through one of my favorite neighborhoods.

I love strolling through this neighborhood because it reminds me of where I grew up in Washington. There are tons of big trees, but it still feels open and not claustrophobic.

It's breathtaking.

The beautiful tall green trees, the perfectly manicured landscaping, the gorgeous plants that line the wide street throughout, and the wonderful people that wave to me while I walk by (even though they have no idea who I am) all make me crave being home again.

Utah continues to grow on me, but nothing will ever feel more like "home". So, whenever I need my fix of lush, green foliage and the feeling of "home", I know I can always go for a stroll through this beautiful place.

Gorgeous, huh?!
