Today I went to a farewell at the church on Utah Avenue. For those of you who dont know, Utah Avenue is a street in Tooele and it just happens to be the one Josh's house is on.
Its amazing that even though he has been gone for almost 2 years, that street can still give me butterflies. I miss coming home from softball practice at Deseret Peak and praying (while speeding) that I would make the light so I didnt have to wait. I miss being clear down main street and still being able to see the Utah Avenue sign, just because I was so excited. The crooked intersection on utah avenue (if you are from tooele, you know what im talking about) is my favorite, because it meant I was almost to his house. Even after he has been gone, I still drive on this street just because it reminds me of him. I miss being able to pull in his driveway and know that he was just a few feet away. I still go see his family, and without fail, every time I even see the Utah Avenue sign, my heart starts pounding and part of me thinks and hopes I will see him.
Oh Utah Avenue, how I miss you.
WOW, how cheesy is this post? I don't really care though, I miss him and today I got to be on Utah Avenue...and I loved every minute of it :) July, please come soon.
