Nothing Ever Changes Back Home!

I have spent the last 2 month in my home town of Blanding with my family. I was a little apprehensive about going home and being with out all my STUFF in California. However, I have come to realize joy doesn't come from STUFF it comes from being with the people you love. I often sang a Sarah Buxton song: "Nothing ever changes back home" in my mind while I was in Blanding...I love it there! You could find my dad and brothers working night and day on the trucks in the shop, Cody on the computer, Kedrick bossing everyone around, my mom in her sewing room busily making a California King Sized Quilt in 5 minutes (hehe), Ashley cutting hair (she cut my hair back to the messy spiky look!), Koen on his four wheeler, Sadie following Koen, Colorado shopping, 2-4 hour car rides to the nearest anything, Brooke snapping pictures, the phone constantly ringing, dogs barking...etc! I love it all! It is great being in a place where everyone knows your name and cares about who you are. Sorry to say Darin my roots run deep in San Juan County!
Doesn't this picture make you want to start singing "Blue Mountain your azure deep, Blue Mountain with side so steep, Blue Mountain with horse head on your side, you have one my love to keep..." (who knows if I got the words right!) I am sure Darin was sad to miss our tribute to the Stan Bronson songs of San Juan County on our way out of town...IT IS TRADITION! Anyone that knows me knows I love the sky. This is looking out towards the bears ears, west of Blanding. I swear Blanding has the most beautiful skies! I wish I could take a picture of the night sky with all the stars.
California just does not have clouds like these! I love them! Blanding is gorgeous and I am so happy I was able to go home for a while and remember how much I love my family and my home town. I am so happy that "Nothing ever changes back home!"
