What is it about Nevada? Legalized gambling? Legalized prostitution (See Mr. Me’s BLOG for reference)? Lots of revenue from Gambling? Desert climate? Elevation? Proximity to CA? Driest state in the US (yep, look it up)? Silver mining? Why am I even asking these questions you say? Well, another of my best friends will be moving to Nevada. Okay, this is not the end of the world, but it is the combination of this recent move and the moves of two of my other best friends (one of which is also my cousin) that has made this more perplexing.
The reason my friend is going to be moving to Nevada is not a hard one to figure out. He has aspirations of being a professional poker player. This is not something you can do in Utah, for obvious reasons, so the move here is one of necessity. I cannot be mad at someone for this. I am happy that they are getting on with their life. I am just always thinking about me, because I am selfish like that.
Three very close friends living in Nevada, and some in other states. I am kind of running out of male friends and friends in general. I think this is just a by product of growing up. We are all busy with our own lives and families. I am not mad at anyone and am not asking for anyone to feel sorry for me. Everything happens for a reason. Some friends move on and others come in to fill the gaps. I have been in contact with several old friends, that I really did not think I would see or hear from again, so that helps.
More importantly, I have my own family. I am lucky enough to be married to my absolute best friend in the world and this is a great thing to have in a marriage. We look after each other and support each other. I would wish this upon everyone, even my enemies, as it is such a great thing. This is why I am glad that you are all moving on with your lives and your families. Those without families, maybe the moves will help you with that. Who knows. I certainly hope you all find happiness.
In summary, I miss you all and will continue miss you. I do think about you constantly, even if I don’t always pick up the phone, respond to an e-mail or reach out to you. I miss just hanging out and ‘chewing the fat’. The crazy and geeky conversations. Completing each others’ sentences and the insane laughter that can only be stirred up between close friends. I love you all and look forward to visiting you soon. I know I will always have a place to stay and great company to be with.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Hahaha. Nevada could never claim me!
But sadly, the other side of the country did. So, I guess it's not much different, just in another direction.
One day, I shall return to Utah, and on that day, I hope to be welcomed with open arms.
