moving

since i graduated from high school i have moved no less than 15 times.  i admit, part of that is because i bounced back and forth between utah and arizona in the summers, but i still had to pack and unpack and repack all of my junk.

this year has been  no exception to the moving trend in my life.  i moved back to salt lake from provo and into a little place in sugar house where i lived until the end of december.  at that point, i thought i should move back home with the parents for a bit, so i sold my contract and that's what i did.  but last week, my cousin melindie and i decided we should probably rent the taj mahal which, contrary to popular belief, is not located in india, but on 1300 east 522 south, salt lake city, utah.

i wish that i had pictures to back my claims of grandeur.  but since i don't i will list the home's greatest features in a tidy list.  (since starting law school, i have started to LOVE lists and outlines.)

1) a pool
2) a slide into said pool
3) a waterfall next to said slide into said pool
4) a wrap around deck complete with posh lawn furniture and fire bowl
      a) as if my cravings for summer weren't bad enough, now summer taunts me from my own back yard as salt lake's weather grows evermore dismal
5) a floating staircase
6) oversized leather couches
7) a HUGE laundry room with built in study counter
8) a shower that feels lonely with 3 people in it
9) a window seat/niche in my bedroom
10) no tv

ok, 10 might not be an attribute, but i am telling myself that it is because it will make it so much easier to do cool law school homework.

i have never been more excited to move than i am about this one.  the house is a beaut.  but more than that, melinda and i have been talking about living together since we were just wee ones.  dreams are coming true.  good, good dreams are coming true.

and here's a good song to top it all off:

and here is a rap that i have almost completely learned:
