The beginning to a Utah journey, and a new chapter

Greetings everyone from Sandy Utah. This is my new home for at least the next year and I am still unsure about this move. I am still trying to grasp the fact that I am no longer in college and now having to start in the "real world." Sandy is about 25 minutes from Salt Lake and 45 minutes from Park City. I am right in the view of the Wasatch Mountains, which circulates Sandy and other suburb cities. Yes, I am living in the suburbs. While there are the typical suburban essences like neighborhoods and chain stones infesting the cities there is still so much beauty that surrounds Sandy. The mountains obviously add a whole new form of beauty to the suburbs as well as the endless trails for walking, hiking and running. There are less cookie cutter homes here but rather neighborhoods filled with unique style and individuality. Either suburb life has changed, or the Utah suburbs are unique creatures all in themselves.
I cannot wait to experience the outdoor life in this outdoor lovers paradise. With my graduation money, I am going to buy a mountain bike. I am pretty excited to buy my bike. My sister and I are going to go on a hike later this week, so that will be my first encounter with outdoor paradise besides the snowboarding.
Last night was my first night here living with my sister. So far we are getting along, and hopefully it can stay that way. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a peaceful unity between the both of us. I met my sister's boyfriend last night, Mark. He is an attractive rock climber and has actively engaged my sister into climbing a lot. He is younger than Chris (her ex-boyfriend) thank God. He seems nice, but my final grade of him is still being determined. Last night was fun because my sister had a BBQ in which she invited a few friends over. Like myself, she has mostly guy friends. I guess we are more alike then I thought. We ate, drank and chatted. Because the beer sucks here do to less alcohol content (unless you buy it from a liquor store, which is ridiculously expensive) I will have to drink harder alcohol. Maybe the fact that beer sucks here is a good thing for when I start my training for another marathon.
Tomorrow is my first meeting with my boss, Norma for my first REAL job out of college. Norma is the athletic director at Salt Lake Community College where I am a Sports Information Assistant. I will let you know how that goes in the next few days. I am getting pretty tired as it is 10:30, I know its so late!

Till Next Time,
Jenna
