I tend to brag about Salt Lake. True Story. I love it here.... took me a while to go from hate to love, but man-oh-man I adore Salt Lake! With that being said, I wanted to give my hometown some love. I saw this video on facebook and seriously got teary-eyed.
I love my hometown and have enjoyed seeing it grow and mature from the days when my high school was surrounded by sheep farms. It has blossomed and I love getting to see all the changes each time I visit.
Over the past 2 years I made friends in Salt Lake who are also Okie transplants. When someone asks me what town I'm from, they pipe in and say "The Emerald City" ... I was shocked the first time I heard this. But the people who ask don't even have to get an explanation! It's as if this was a secret nickname for my town that I never knew! It was definitely its own little bubble. But I loved that growing up.
And if you watch really closely, you can see a gymnastics statue behind the Edmond Library. Fun Fact: That statue is actually my body. I had to pose for the sculptor back a long time ago. (It was also one of the first things my mom took J to see when he came to visit... she is a proud momma!) :)
So without further ado....

You're famous. and the emerald city?! what?!
I can imagine Edmond is a great place to grow up, but I was so happy to move out haha. It's not a place I'd want to live at this point in my life.
