It Was Twenty Years Ago...

Twenty years ago this week I packed up my stuff and moved to Idaho, home of my ancestors, to attend grad school at the University of Idaho. One of the best decisions I ever made. I liked it so much, I never left. I've lived in Moscow, Boise, and Coeur d'Alene. Got married here, had kids here. Certain parts of the state are definite favorites, but I call the whole place my home.

Here's a little video tribute to the Gem State, featuring photos I've taken over the past ten years and a song that is a hundred years old. Enjoy!

That is truly a beautiful place, I wouldn't mind living their either, snow and all.
I love what you've did with it, the T-shirt saying IDAHO, your son is so small in one of those photos, and the end fading ... it's great ... well done! It's going to go around the world if it's on You Tube!

You need to call the Idaho tourism commission.
I especially liked the roller coaster shot and the fishin hole at the end.
Ho There! My Idaho!

I was born and raised in Idaho, but have lived in Seattle for the past 20 years. I have however talked about it enough that the other day my husband, as Seattle native, was sing the first stanza of the Idaho state song. :)

Nice video slide show. Love the music, too! Makes me glad I live practically next door (in Utah) so that I can continue to discover the beautiful Idaho while I'm still discovering the beautiful state I'm in. I would especially love to see that giant bronze hand. Nifty!
