This is My Hometown . . . Number Eleven


THis is the final installment of the "My Hometown" series. I knew from the beginning that this was going to be my Number 1 favorite place in Nephi and the true reason I moved back.
The place that always "Screams" Nephi to me, is my parent's home. This is the place I grew up in, it is the place of all my favorite memories and it is the one place I can always go and feel welcomed and well like I am home.
This is where my family gathers, whether we are gathering for Sunday dinner, a birthday party, or one of our wonderful summer barbecues, this is where I know I can find unconditional love and support.

My parent's house is where I learned. Not the normal text book stuff, but real world learning; life and death, love, dreams, preparation, service, and giving. This is where I was formed, where I became the person I now am. No matter where I have traveled, where I have lived, or where I have just been for the day, this is where I think of want to go "home".
