Checkin Out Arizona

Arizona was one of the spots we checked out to live after graduation.It had a lot of things going for it when we visited back in February like nice weather, farmer's markets, a temple, clean neighborhoods, parks, places to hike,

a street with my name on it,
 
and fun friends!  While Mark was interviewing, I spent the day with our friend Michele and her two cute kids, Bryce and Callie.  Lucy and I had so much fun with them while Mark was interviewing!  It would have definitely been a big bonus to be able to do that more often!


It turns out that the office wasn't quite ready to add another partner by the time Mark would be graduating.   Even though I think that we could have been happy in Arizona, part of me was a little relieved.  I just kept thinking about how much I missed Florida while I was there. It had palm trees and sunshine like Florida but it just wasn't the same.  Oh how I will miss Florida when we move!!!  How could anything top blue skies, sunshine, huge birds, clear turquoise water, beautiful sunsets, tons of things to do, and lots of greenery practically every day of the year?  I feel like I have been spoiled for four years straight! 
Lucy was super good during the trip. I wanted to add this picture of her sleeping in the airport because she looked so sweet all cuddled up in my sweater!  She is such an easy baby--so mellow and happy, always going with the flow.  I am so grateful to have such a little sweetheart.

I like how you have sweaters and sweatshirts on in Arizona, a little colder than Florida? ha ha it looks really warm there in Arizona.
