So long Memphis!


Tomorrow morning TG, Keilani, and I will be packing up our car (with more stuff then we came out with) and finally heading home to Utah. We had an awesome summer, but we are ready to come back to our house, sleep in our own bed, and see our friends and family.

Things I'm going to miss about living Memphis, TN

All the trees- it's incredible how green Tennessee is.
Blue Bell Ice Cream- TG and I are obsessed with it.
All the awesome friends we made while living there.
Costco because it was never busy.
Going to the sprinkler park with friends.
Going to Sonic right after the sprinkler park for Happy Hour.
All the great BBQ places (Central BBQ and Corkys).
But most of all, I'm going to miss living so close to my sister Mindi and her family.

Things I'm not going to miss about living in Memphis, TN

The bugs.
The humidity.
Living on the top floor and having our room and Keilani's room above our neighbors' garages.
The crazy weather: Tornadoes and Thunderstorms (there were two tornadoes that touched down while we lived there).

You gotta love the south and that Blue Bell ice cream! Whenever family comes into town, we have to stock up on Blue Bell, they eat themselves sick until their next trip. Agreed on the humidity and bugs, I could definitely live without those. I am jealous that you get to enjoy the nice Utah fall weather, my favorite season that never comes in Texas!

I bet it will be nice to be back, even if you do have to leave Mindi. Must have been nice to be close to at least some family while you were gone. Good luck on the drive!

The humidity and bugs are also some of the things that I hate about FL. I am glad you had a fun summer in Memphis. I have heard that Tennessee is a great place to live.
