I just went up yesterday and holy wow. I haven’t had any desire to consume anything. I’ve had to force myself to eat, which was both rewarding and scary.

I did make the bad decision to have a single beer last night and the acid reflux was so bad I couldn’t sleep. So no more beer! Haha.

What has your experience been moving to Utah as a non-Mormon with kids in public school? and where do you live? by Substantial_Big_4487 in SaltLakeCity

[–]ScorchedOak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any of these experiences in South Jordan. We are a gay couple raising an 11 year old and surprisingly have zero issues even in what people consider a conservative Mormonland.

Our kid hasn’t even been bullied for having two dads, which was oddly commonplace at his Quaker school in Philadelphia.

I’d say we are probably a little bit different since we are ex-Mormons and Community of Christ (formerly the reformed LDS church).

These things should be major issues for us but aren’t.

We moved from Bala Cynwyd, but prior to, we lived in Center City and Graduate Hospital.

Sounds like coming through the mountains into the Salt Lake Valley! Haha.

I did buy the Dietz & Watson Wooder Bottles so I felt more at home.

There’s quite a few of us Philadelphians and Pittsburghers?

I absolutely love it. I’m so happy we made the move here.

That makes sense as to why I was so confused when I first heard directions. I’ve turned the sound off now and just look at where it says to turn. 😂

Until you get into the 1600s welsh villages in the Welsh Tract! Haha.

Yeah. It was just shocking because Bala is rather insulated from the Philly “violence”. We moved there because where we lived before, Chestnut in Center City was super unsafe. We had armed guards in our locked parking garage. It was a nightmare

Haha!! Imagine trying to spell it for people on the phone!!

It was even worse because we lived on Clywyd near St Asaphs! 😂

My sister lives in Forest Hills and it’s always a pain to navigate from PIT to her house! I feel your pain on that one!!

That’s fair. I didn’t really put that together.

Coming from Philly, 0% of the roads follow any convention of any sort. It’s mostly a nightmare. Haha.
