Exciting things are happening in Arizona! We returned last night from an overnight trip to the Grand Canyon. It was amazing! If you have not been, you must make it a goal to go see it. There is so much to see and do...we went on a sunset tour that took us to several locations before resting at a final spot to see the sun set over the Canyon. I wish the pictures could do it justice. I'm sure that many posts to come will contain pictures from this trip!

Today we visited my school, just the outside because it's all locked up for Spring Break. Then we finally made it to Oregano's for a very large, very delicious lunch. We also saw some other good sights like Papago Park and Hunt's Tomb. We rounded out the day with a short swim and are now getting our wii on. Yes, even my mom and dad are enjoying our new toy. Dad's doing his best not to fall over playing tennis and mom is hitting homeruns...she actually hit two! We've got one more day with my mom and dad and I think some shopping is on the itinerary for tomorrow. Fashion Square Mall here we come!

Paradise Valley?

Ahh yes...it's a balmy 85 degrees here in the Valley. And if you're feeling jealous, please don't. If it's 85 degrees in early March, I shudder to think what it will be in late July. Please send some frosty weather out this way!

Looking ahead...

The weather here has been really nice. It's chilly in the morning but it warms up nicely by 11...it's really strange to not have to wear a jacket in February and March. We hear there was record snowfall in February for GR and we somehow feel as though we missed out! No sledding for us this year. We've already concluded that we need to make a pilgrimmage to Flagstaff next year.

We've been trying to take the dogs for at least a half hour walk each day. Some days are crazy and our schedules won't allow it...but the dogs are much more calm when we're able to fit it in. My mom and dad will be coming out in couple weeks, and we'll be able to visit the Grand Canyon! I'm super excited about this, I think it will be just breathtaking! Then I think Dave's dad is making a trip out this way soon...not quite sure when. We're looking forward to seeing family and doing some more sightseeing! I'm sure I'll have some awesome pictures to post soon...the one above is not mine!
