I&#8217;m back in Utah and it feels so good.  I really missed Josh.  I&#8217;m such a baby.  I just get really homesick without him. I never once got homesick until I got married!!  Don&#8217;t get me wrong,  I had an <span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\">amazing<\/span> time in Phoenix.  I was so blessed to be able to be there to see baby Addie and spend so much time with Gracelyn.  But I&#8217;m also happy to be back to a normal routine and REALLY happy to be back with my man!!<\/p>\n<p>Well, if you&#8217;ve come here on your ScrapMatters [inter]National Scrapbooking Day Blog Train journey &#8211; welcome to Utah!!  <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>On each stop of today&#8217;s blog train you&#8217;ll learn about where each of us considers PARADISE to be.  When I think of paradise, I, of course, think of Disneyland.  That&#8217;s the obvious answer you&#8217;d expect from me, right??  <span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">BUT<\/span> I also think of somewhere else that might actually be an even truer paradise.  It&#8217;s relaxing, calm, beautiful, and the place I feel the least stress EVER (and my feet don&#8217;t kill after a day spent here).  AND, I&#8217;m lucky enough to have been there every summer for most of my life.  The paradise I&#8217;m thinking of is . . . Bear Lake, UT.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i70.photobucket.com\/albums\/i104\/designerbrittney\/paradise_BLOG.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i70.photobucket.com\/albums\/i104\/designerbrittney\/paradise_BLOG.jpg\" width=\"540\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>My family goes camping and boating here every year.  Real camping in TENTS.  Not sissy RV camping. \ud83d\ude42 hahah We love it.  All I do all day is sit on the beach under my giant umbrella and read and nap and go for a dip in the most beautiful clear turquoise water in the country. No makeup, no muss, no fuss.  It&#8217;s an amazing place, and I truly think its the closest thing to paradise I&#8217;ve experienced.  I know its not what everyone thinks of as paradise, but it is to me!!<\/p>\n<p>Ok, ok &#8211; here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ve actually come on the blog train for . . . . your <span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\">FREEBIE<\/span>.
