Wednesday was my absolute favorite day of the week. We got a wonderful storm that made the air smell like Utah dirt and brought dark, gloomy, yet also comforting (in my opinion) clouds. I am from Texas and we get intense storms similar to those quite frequently. It is very hard for me to come to Utah where the weather is not nearly as exciting. My favorite weather is dark, overcast, foggy days rather than sunny days. I am happiest when that weather comes around. I have observed in the three years being here that the storm clouds always hang out around Timp and never come our way, and so I have come to be disapproving of the mountains surrounding us. I look up the weather all the time, continually checking what the chance of rain is for the day. I missed the rain that happened earlier that morning because I was in a class. I was so bummed to come out and smell the rain and see the puddles on the ground and realize I missed it. Thank goodness the best downpour ever occurred when I had a 3 hour break later in the day. I sat on the steps in front of the Talmage Building with my brother and watched the torrential downpour as we ate our delicious gummy bears we had just bought in the vending machine. We watched students running to get to their next destination, and others walking, not caring whether or not they got wet. We also saw someone with an umbrella hat on and she made watching the rain that much more enjoyable. The rain stopped 15 minutes later and my brother and I headed our separate ways. I am so grateful we finally got a storm in Utah and that I could get a taste of what I get back home in Texas. Cross your fingers we get another!
