I wasn't born, but very much raised a Utahn. I have that classic accent where I don't say my T's. Mountain becomes mounen and Layton is Layen. I don't wear shoes (which seems to be a no no where I'm at...) and 75 degrees is perfect weather for me. I have been a free spirit all my life, not confined to the classic Utah perception of being LDS. Fun to me is getting in a car and driving to the nearest Walmart at midnight and listening to Taylor Swift. I lived in a big enough town that it was bustling, but not to big that riding a horse on the side of the road wasn't out of the norm completely.
I am Clair Jensen, and yesterday I moved to Alameda CA. This is the perception of a Utah Girl in the Bay Area. Better get ready :)
I'm so excited for you! :D
