While driving to Park City yesterday for a show, I was driving off I-80. Now for me, this road bears bizarre but significant symbolism in my own life. This road connects the midwest, where my dear friends and parents are, to Utah, and where I am right now. When I lived in Idaho I would take I-80 to get back and forth from Illinois the few times I made this long drive. It's like a gateway that connects the two spots my life has been based. These longs drives have always been filled with nostalgia and feeling. I turned my signal, though I immediately realized I was heading east on I-80. I did not want to get off. After nearly 8 months of longing to be here, I suddenly want to be there. We often think happiness is a milestone that will be achived after something comes about, but its obvious to me, that its much more than that. Sometimes, its much more than that

The grass is always greener... don't you hate that?
I80 is where I received my first two speeding tickets, but your post convinced me that it is not the root of all evil
Yeah I now have to take the 80 back to Rexburg from the bay area... I kinda miss Rexburg which is really weird to say. I hope you are doing good. I love you Brent!
Hey this is Rachael from Rexburg, I don't know if you remember me. But I agree with your comment that sometimes happiness being only an expected milestone. It's hard to just choose to be happy. Happiness is a complex thing sometimes. I remember that same road. This post makes me miss Rexburg.
i remember you rachel. DOI!
