The Big Move

This is the biggest move we've ever had! How can us college kids accumulate so much stuff?...Oh yeah, we had a baby ;)

Arizona is beautiful in it's own way. Yeah, it's dry, hot, desert looking, and cacti count as trees, but the sunsets are to die for. Each evening is filled with vibrant color in the sky that makes me so happy.

We first moved into my Grandma and Grandpa's house while we waited for our house to be available. For a couple months we enjoyed life in a retirement community. In this 65+ community, we REALLY enjoyed all the perks:

Swimming in this beautiful pool.

Cruising around in golf carts.

Playing with rocks.

Enjoying all the palm trees.

Running around in swimsuits.

And playing with cars in the water.

Calvin is always too cool for his parents...

...But one day, I noticed Calvin acting like the elderly neighbors, and I knew we had been in the retirement community long enough!

In November, we finally moved in to our own place! My boys are so excited to have more space to run around&wrestle, play in the backyard, and work in the garage.

Currently, the LDS Mesa Temple is the closest temple to us. However...

...we have a new temple being built closer: the LDS Gilbert Temple! The Open House (where ANYONE can go take a tour inside) is going on from January 18th-February 15th 2014 Click here to reserve free tickets! After the Open House, the temple will be dedicated where only baptized members who are qualified and prepared are allowed to enter the temple. So if you can, go take a tour and see what's inside!

Overall, Arizona is treating us well :) We are loving the warm winter weather and we're fitting right in. This Arizona desert has become our home and we are taking everything in stride. We've even become DiamondBack fans!

Summer all-year-round is the best!
