So I got a call from my Mom today wishing me a Happy 24th of July. The bad news was I was driving into work. I totally forgot about the holiday since I haven't lived in UT for over 4 years now. My Mom told me all the fun things they are planning and how everyone has work OFF. I am now sitting in my cube wishing I lived in UT so I can have today off! My employer gives no state holiday's.
I have made a list of things I would be doing today if I had the day off for this holiday
Eating watermelon
Preparing food the evenings BBQ
Laying out
Swimming
Boating
Sleeping in
Watching the parade
Going to a carnival or rodeo
Watching fireworks
Eating everything!
. . . . and NOT WORKING!
I need to convince mu husband to move back to the blessed state of UT so I can have an extra holiday off work. I hope all you Utahan's out there are having a great day off!

Ahhhhhh....who needs Utah!! You need to come move by me!!
I wish. California would be a nice break from the rain! I wish we could afford it. The pics of the beach on your blog looks so so inviting!
I vote u move back also...LOVE YA JAY
I remember thinking the same thing when I moved away. Sorry you had to work.
That added holiday is definately a plus! But it is also a little weird to try to explain to out-of-staters why we celebrate (My new neighbor just moved here from the midwest and was really confused by the whole idea of celebrating the pioneers coming in to the valley- she is not LDS).
I'm sorry you missed it, but if it makes you feel any better it was so hot it was almost unbearable to be outside!
I was so naive as a kid I thought everyone celebrated the 24th. Seriosly, what do other states do?
It's good to see you. I found your blog on the reunion site.
