One More Day!!!

Just one day left of work and we are headed away from civilization for...

  • 4 days
  • Just the 2 of us
  • Endless forest & mountains
  • Beautiful, challenging hiking trails
  • Streams with great trout fishing
  • Coooool weather (it was like 98 degrees here today, apparenltly. Days like this I am happy I don't see the sun)
  • Views of herds of elk
  • Delicious, fresh, meals cooked in foil over a hot camp fire
  • Smores
  • Cerveza
  • Cereal in the mini boxes. But not my normal raisin bran...this is my "Get Out of Jail Free Card" --and I eat "naughty" things like Frosted Flakes and Pops! (Helllooo it's camping!)
  • I. Love. The. White. Mountains. (AZ..not the ones by New Hampshire)

Have so much fun! And you can totally send the 98 degree weather here. I'll take that over the mid-40s with rain (which I am sure you'd gladly take, just when you aren't raining, as I know the heat gets old!)

Have a blast and be safe!

Sounds too good to be true! The 98 degree temps sound unbearable but I would love to feel 78! We just can't break 60! Rain last night but sunshine today! Oh, glorious sun! Have a wonderful mini-retreat!

Have fun! I love camping. We were out the first part of the week. Really, Abby, I can't call what we do camping anymore. This new Airstream is the bomb!

However, we did spend many years in a tent and loved it. We turned 40 and decided it was time to quit sleeping on the ground!!!

Someday we will travel to Arizona and see those mountains you talk about!

That sounds AWESOME! I love camping!! We are hoping to get away for a few camping trips this summer but it's hard right now because Eric works weekends! Me working Mon - Fri and him working Sat - Sun does not make our schedules conducive to camping (or doing anything together really!!!) Hopefully that will change in June, though!

What is your color?

Green My favorite color ever! I have to control myself to not purchase too many green things. If I had no control, my house would be green. My kitchen would be lime-themed. With greenery everywhere. My bathrooms would be green. My bedroom would be green. You would all feel nauseated-green after entering my home. (So I don't have a green-themed home) Many things I love are green, such as: Spinach (I eat it a minimum twice a day usually) My weding color was green. (clover green) Limes (I have at least one time a day) Grass. I love the feel of grass, especially since I see it so rarely in AZ (except in my neighborhood that has amazing landscapers with grass-galore) Palm trees. Any tree. Christmas trees. I love Christmas Green Beer. I think the green beer on St. Patty's Day tastes better. My favorite color of eyes. When I was in 9th grade, I so badly wanted to get green contacts. But they made me keep my brown eyes. Diet Mountain Dew (my guilty pleasure) Granny Smith...

A weekend of the great outdoors

As I am preparing for my return to the real world tomorrow, I feel a strong sense of dread. As I won't have a weekend or free week for a long while! Instead of focusing on that.......I'm sharing a few snapshots from our awesome weekend! This weekend we were in Big Lake, AZ -- which is about 20 miles from the New Mexico border (just 5 1/2 hours from our house). (last weekend we were in Parker Canyon...which I will blog about another day) We camped from Friday-Monday, which was the perfect length of time. The temperatures were a great escape from hot Tucson. In fact...it was VERY cold at night. It was in the low 30's at night, 60's during the day. The trout fishing was incredible. Here's a few snapshots: Home Sweet Home for the weekend! Look at the giant tree I cut down!!! Wow!! (Okay, this was posed...) But...Ryan did teach me how to use a wood-saw! There were tons of dead/fallen trees lying around. So we cut all our firewood for the weekend! I felt very ...

One Confused Lady

Yesterday morning was packed with a session of cross training.....rushed home to shower and get professional-looking....headed across town for an interview.....kicked butt at my interview...."bopped" over to our house to see the progress of the build......headed to the "design center" to sign more paperwork.... (Side note: I cannot get over just how much paperwork is involved in building a house. Holy Hannah. And we haven't even closed !!! Iy-yi-yi....Those lovely people in history who got law-suit-happy.....God bless 'em.) Yesterday was a good day! So here's a little humor for your Thursday. A little thought. A little depth.....( A little cynical rant ) Afterwards, I decided to head to one of my favorite places to peruse.... Target. But my experience at Target was far from fun, relaxing, or pleasant. Just confusing. Loud. Crazy. Despite many screaming children-temper tantrums.... Which is common and un-escapable. Although screaming chi...
