Go Home - Nate

I guess the first question one should ask is... why call it "Go Home - Nate?"

Home is very important to me. For me home is where my family is. I'm fortunate that I can be happy where ever I am. I can enjoy myself in almost any situation. But at the end of the day, I want to be home. At the end of the day I want to be with my family.

Marie and I lived in Phoenix for about 2 years. While we were gone we did what we could to get to know the city, and enjoy what Phoenix had to offer. We loved going to Diamondback games, we enjoyed swimming in our swimming pool, we enjoyed going out to eat at great restaurants (Oregano's anyone?). Every year the city of Glendale would have a chocolate festival to get ready for Valentine's Day, "The Chocolate Affair." What fun!!

But when Ryan was born we knew we wanted to come home. We knew we wanted to be with our family, and we knew we wanted Ryan to be with his grandparents, aunts, and uncles. So we started looking at coming home to Utah. Within a few months we had found me a new job, and we had found a wonderful home within a few miles of our families.

So we've been here in Utah for over a year now. We're loving our home. I love my job. And most of all... I love that I have come HOME!
