some things

things I might miss about provo:
  • my own underground parking spot [ which actually came at a high price, but so worth it ]
  • the provo library just a hop, skip and jump away [ with a surprisingly decent collection of dvds ]
  • cougar tails [ for those uneducated, a cougar tail is a 3 foot long maple bar ]
  • seeing the provo temple as I come over university parkway
  • student discounts [ i.e. wilk bowling, 1 buck off a costa vida burrito ]
  • responding to 911 menstrual cramp calls
  • mt. timp
  • living with 5 girls [ however, it's year 4, my alarm is up ]
things I know I won't miss about provo:
  • university avenue [ anyone think the washboard is getting WORSE? ]
  • duck pond stairs [ what is it, like 152 stairs i hike up every morning? ]
  • my job [ no comment ]
  • church on campus [ something unsettling/guilt provoking about taking the sacrament in the same room a physical science lecture put you to sleep in ]
  • byu hockey
  • paying 5 bones for a lady to tell me she can still see soap scum
  • friday night, 6-12 pm, any road, movie theater, restaurant
  • Utah Valley Regional Medical Center nurses
  • the byu bike cop [ what the heck, that guy is EVERYWHERE ]
things I always miss about slc:
  • kirk, jennie, rachel, caroline [ i miss spence too, but well, he's never going to read this anyway ]
  • a bed at normal height off the ground [ provo rebecca needs the storage space ]
  • passing my high school on the freeway
  • rei
  • marie callendar pie
  • mt. olympus
  • the weiler red couches
  • little cousins

I never heard of a cougar tail before. Where do you get these?

I think it's 147 stairs??? Or maybe 149. I can't remember now! oh ps.. this is Mandee, not Jord. I just realized I was logged in as him....

couldn't agree more about the cleaning check lady. Just once I'd like to run through her home with a white glove.
Worst omission on the "things to miss" list: Chocolate milk from the Creamery.

Ooo, I hate that bike cop too! I swore one day I was going to put a stick in his spokes as he rode by... something I still plan on doing before I die (or I guess before he dies).

One thing I miss about Provo: Rebecca!!!

This makes it sound like you're moving away forever, which I hope you don't do. That's another plus about the married apartment: No cleaning checks!
