I am convinced I live in one of the most beautiful places in the world! And lately I have been just completely overcome with that beauty. Like on the verge of tears with it all of the time. It seems almost every day I am calling Jeremy or he is calling me, or the kids are running in the room saying, "Look out your window!" The clouds, the colors, the mountains, the trees, the sunsets-- they have all just been taking my breath away. I was taking Jessica to dance the other day and literally had to pull over and just STARE at the sun's rays bouncing off the mountains. I was in tears. I was a moment where I felt completely connected to my Heavenly Father and so aware of His majesty.
I googled "Utah images" to try to get some pictures of what I am talking about. I found some good ones. VERY good ones. But even they can't portray the majesty of it all.
PS I couldn't find the names of all the photographers, but here are a few: Greg Busley, Danny Burk, Bruce Barker, David Schultz, and Willie Holdman. Credit to them!
How Great Thou art was one of they hymns we used last Sunday - and yeah - having backpacked much of NM and AZ (Rocky Mountain High?) I can relate!
We are anxiously waiting for that TA too. ksl.com has some of the most breathtaking photos in their photo section. There is nothing quite like Fall in Utah. The sky is a different blue, the sun is coming from a different angle and everything contrasts with those colors. I love it!!! I also love the weather right now--nice and warm for this time of year. I don't care if the snow waits until Christmas to show up.
So glad in the midst of your crazy life you can still take time for some of the best things in life! LOVE our beautiful Utah!
