Highlights:
-It is fun to go to the pool and swim everyday, Bennett loves it!
-Cheap golf, twilight is $12/person including a cart on a beautiful course
-Grazzie's seriously the best pizza place, real Italian pizza, thinking about the dessert there makes me drool
-The Zoo, we loved the monkey cage and the Mandrils
Notice the squirrel monkey in the tree by Bennett's head?
-Meg came for a week and I loved every second she was here, I just wish she could have stayed longer
-The weather, when we first got here it was 40 degrees out, too hot, now it is 26- 30 degrees...perfect
-People are extremely friendly here
-We looked ridiculous in our rental car...a CUBE
-I got to meet Melvin's Uncle Roy, Aunt Julie and cousin Morgan, Julie made us a delicious meal and it was funny to see that Bennett looks quite a bit like Uncle Roy
-We went to a high school football game, it reminded me of Friday Night Lights, the Jazz band, the cheerleaders, the crowd, the lights and the love of the game...the only downfall is they didn't have someone there that looked like Tim Riggins.
-We are going to a few Coyotes games and a Phoenix Suns vs. L.A. Lakers game
-I can't wait to hit up a fabric store...so cheap down here.
-I love Target, there are lots of outlets here too
-Bennett is starting to get the hang of walking...kinda, he is pretty stubborn and hates it, but he can do it, we usually have to bribe him with candy
-The small community we are in has over 50 parks, Bennett can climb up and go down the slide all by himself...what a big boy!
-The place we are staying in is huge and beautiful, the kitchen is so big...I love it
-In-N-Out Burger, it is both mine and Melvin's first time trying it, and we are in love with the place
-We bought an MDX, we have always wanted one and finally we have one, too bad it is only for a short time, we plan to sell it when we get home
Lowlights:
-I miss Tucker, my family and friends
-I missed my grandparents 65th wedding anniversary celebration and Thanksgiving Dinner
-While golfing, I saw Bennett munching on something....did the finger swipe only to find bunny poo
-While at the pool last week I saw a scorpion
-I don't have much of a tan yet
-Melvin watches just as much hockey here as he does at home (thanks to Mark Letestu, Melvin's buddy who is ripping it up, how could he not watch him, thanks for cutting into our family time Mark, keep it up!)
-Arizona really isn't that pretty of a place...the dry desert is U-G-L-Y, but we are lucky Verrado has quite a bit of grass and lots of palm trees
-Those dang lizards that are everywhere have made me pee my pants a few times...they sure startle me.
I would have to say the good definitely out weighs the bad...all in all we are having a great time here...we just want more visitors...any takers?
