So we have lived here in Layton for 3 1/2 months now and we couldn't love it more. We can say that now because the huge projects at our house have slowed down now that we moved upstairs. If you asked us 2 months ago this would have been a downer post.
Anyone who lives in the Salt Lake valley and has never lived north of it probably thinks that moving north of downtown Salt Lake is not an option. I never thought that I would live anywhere but in Salt Lake valley. I just loved the big open valley with the huge beautiful mountains and having the comfort of a big city feel. Moving north means farm towns and no huge shopping malls or nice restaurants. But honestly, after Tyler took me for a drive up to Layton before we started looking at houses I fell in love.
TOP 5 THINGS I LOVE ABOUT LAYTON
1- We live right by the mountains and a beautiful reservoir (I love to hike and Tyler loves to fish)
This is literally a 10 minute walk from our backyard.
2- From our deck we have a beautiful view of the great salt lake and the beautiful mountains.
3- There is not even half the amount of traffic because it is a smaller town, but still has everything we could possibly need less than 10 minutes away (Lowes - lately we feel like we live there, even H&M, Gap and the Apple store in this amazing new outdoor shopping mall called Station Park in Farmington)
4- We are closer to downtown Salt Lake living in Layton than we were living in West Jordan (20 minute freeway drive vs. 30 minute commute on surface streets and freeway)
5- The people are amazing here!
My beautiful cousin got married this past weekend up at Sundance. Her wedding was amazing and she looked gorgeous. Weddings with a baby are a totally different experience than weddings without. Despite the craziness of making sure she didn't pull the tablecloths off the tables and get into everyones purses, we had a blast!
She even broke in the dance floor for the bride and groom.
I wish I had a video to capture this priceless moment.
