You may think I am fresh off the boat, straight from the motherland, South Korea. However, if you ask where my hometown is, depending on my mood I will either say, "Logan, Utah" or "Gwangju, S.Korea." The past weekend, I invited the hubs and the sisters to walk down memory lane with me back to the northern city of Utah, Cache Valley.
I was born in Hawaii but unfortunately have no memory of it. My parents decided to be cruel and moved to Utah. We moved to Gwangju when I barely turned twelve. Therefore, my childhood memories were created inside the grand mountains of Cache Valley. Itt's interesting how my childhood years were spent within the walls of the rural and innocent town, Logan. I wonder how difficult it must have been for my parents to raise four kids while being students with limited English skills and absolutely no money. They were foreign students in a very very White city. You would think my memories might be filled with tears and despair. However, no. Logan was the tiny, innocent, rural town that I dearly loved because despite the rags, we were happy. Yes, we were dirt poor. But, never had I been so in tune with mother nature. The Diana you know now hates anything to do with outside. After all, I am a prim and proper lady and have to live up to my nickname, 공주 (公主) However, the Diana back in the old Logan days absolutely loved outside activities. Climbing, sledding, biking, swimming, you name it. Believe it or not, I was adventurous! Money, the Choi family did not have but adventurous, yes we were!
