Peach Days 2010

PEACH DAYS!!! Oh, how I've always loved this weekend in September. The parade, car show, & carnival. The town really comes alive! This time was a little different for me though... Walking up Main Street as I passed under the "Welcome to Brigham City" sign that rainbows over the road. A lot of thoughts and emotions came to me. I remembered all the fun times that I had there. It is my home town. If "home town" means the place I've lived in the longest. But I really didn't feel the sense of belonging anymore. More like a vague distant connection. As I ran into people I knew, I just kept thinking about what my life would have been like if I stayed. The song "Unanswered Prayers" by Garth Brooks comes to my mind. I think about the friends I might have had or the man I might have married. There were those nights a long time ago when I would stay up praying to be liked by them and praying to be loved by him.
"And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then, I'd never ask for anything again. Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers. Remember when your talking to the man upstairs. Just because he doesn't answer doesn't me he don't care. Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers."
I really did look up at Kody an then down at our beautiful Sybella and I can honestly say, one of the biggest blessings in my life have been unanswered prayers :)
I am grateful though for my time in Brigham/Perry. I know I am the person who I am today because of my experiences I had there, and the people that came into my life.
Now on to present day :) I had a super time at the car show with Kody, sissy Jessie, my bestie Jessica and her hubby Jeff. Saw some pretty sweet rides! I went totally gaga at the Ford Mustangs! They had a lot of entries this year. Got some sunshine, soaked up my vitamin D. Went hang out at my Grandma's for a while in Perry. I miss her so much! Then Kody and I went on a drive to get some Subway, that turned into a 20 min mission because I couldn't find one haha. Finally right by the exit we found 2. It was very tastie. I'll post pictures soon :)
Over and out.
Sincerely, Kiera
