I recently moved from, Southern California to, Utah. Some would ask(in fact many have) Why would you do that? The answer that I give most people is, “It just feels right.” The reason for this answer is that it’s the only answer I have.

I will say this, while my life here thus far isn’t as “fun” I have had the opportunity to spend some good quality time with my sister and her little family (my 3 year old nephew is the funnest kid ever.)

I have reconnected with old friends and made a few new ones.

I’ve been to a few great local shows.

I have a good job that is allowing me to save money.

I came three weeks ago with no car and have been using the public transit system which is adequate for getting to work, but doesn’t really work out so well on the social end of things, but I’ve already got an opportunity and the funds to buy a nice used car(something that would have been nearly impossible for me while I was in California.)

I’ve teamed up with a friend to create an awesome music project(more to come about that.)

I’ve lined up some great opportunities to build my photo portfolio for commercial work.

And I’ve met a few nice girls, who knows maybe I’ll actually go on some dates while I’m here.

In any event, while there are some frustrating aspects of living here and being away from the home I love, it feels so good to have independence and security at the same time, I’ve always had to sacrifice one for the other.

So friends and family of California, thanks for your support, I’m doing well, I miss you terribly but this won’t be forever.

And friends and family of Utah, thanks for welcoming me with open arms, I’m excited for the adventures we’ll have together.
