the snow and the cold weather... - 5/30/2010
I am so tired of living in a freezing , snowing place 9 months out of the year. we are now almost in june and we had a snowstorm last week. I am tired of it. I want to be able to take my daughter and my puppy out for walks and to parks, i wanna be able to take a jog in the morning or go for a bike ride but i cannot do that here in Utah. I have this feeling that i dont belong here and although i have no clue where i belong , i know it's not here and that there is somewhere for me to be happy out there.

Education funding - 4/5/2010
Utah does not adequately pay for education. This state has the highest number of children per household, yet is last in per pupil funding. As a result, good teachers leave and seek gainful employment in other states or professions. I struggle to make ends meet as a Utah teacher, and I really wish that if Utahns are going to have so many children, they would pony up the money to pay for their

Difficult - 12/28/2009
The Salt Lake Valley is a great place to raise kids however, if you are not LDS than it can be a challenge. Often my kids are excluded or not allowed to do things. Places are closed Sundays or people won't let their children play with ours on Sunday. It can be a challenge as a stay at home mom because there are not a lot of non-LDS moms at home or at least they are hard to

Getting crowded here, pollution in the winter is a - 10/6/2009
The avg age is way young, the ratio of married people is way high as is the number of women having babies, and the culture is skewed too much towards Mormons. Utah has one of the highest tax rates, and schools that are overcrowded and under funded.
However, the four seasons are great, recreation diverse, and fairly strong

Utah is a Great Place to Live - 4/27/2009
I have lived in Idaho, Ohio, and many parts of Utah, and prefer Utah, hands-down. It is beautiful here, with gorgeous mountains, lakes, and clean rivers surrounding you everywhere. There is abundant hiking, camping, skiing,fishing, boating, and hunting, as well as shopping, dining, theme parks, and other wholesome entertainment. Most people's lives here revolve around family, education, and religion, as there are several major universities, and Utah is the well-known capital of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or the Mormon church. There is relatively little crime- you can leave your doors unlocked and be pretty safe, for the most part. The climate has four distinct seasons. A very snowy winter, great for skiing, a hot, dry summer, usually uncomfortable without AC, and mild, pleasant spring and fall. Traffic can be a pain, as most of Utah's roads were not designed to handle the number of people that have settled here. However, it doesn't compare to traffic in really
