Arizona

i live here….tehe. it is so different. I love it

i took a road trip and we drove across arizona and i saw lots of desert. it was amazing. and i didnt realize that this was the only state to really have those big 10-gallon arms straight up cactus.
stayed in yuma for several days. the heat made me feel like i was melting.
and the air was still so warm at night.

Arizona is a beautiful place, I would love to go back! The weather can be a little over bearing at first but overall its great! :) they do have an illegal immigration problem, but it will be gone soon.

this place is amazing, very different from where i live. i went when i was 14 (i think), and i would like to go again sometime now that i would appreciate it’s arty and original side more.

Last week, I moved from Oregon to Texas, and part of my journey took me across northern Arizona on Interstate 40 (old Route 66). The scenery is wonderful, and although the trip itself was something of a drag for me (because I was in a rental truck with a cat, towing a car), it’s definitely a trip I would love to make again in a somewhat more leisurely fashion. I didn’t stop very often, because I was trying to finish the trip as quickly as possible, but I did stop at Seligman and spent the night in Winslow. Both nice little towns. It was a lot colder there than I really expected it to be, but at least it didn’t snow.

I have to visit the Grand Caynon, At least once.

Was when we drove through it to get to Texas, The thunder storms were beautiful!!

I went to visit my “friend” Friend is in quotes because he was more than that, but had moved there so I had to resign myself to being “Just friends” Dear lord if I coulda changed that!!! We visited with his family, they showed me the sights, he was very much a gentleman….I stayed at their house and, he told me later, he wanted to knock on the bedroom door—but he didn’t…and oh, if he had, things would be SO different now!!
I loved Tucson..but more, I loved his family and the guy living there. My mind set there was ‘oh I’m visiting my friend’ We stood on top of ‘A’ mountain near the university and looked down on Tucson… I’ll never forget the view…so expansive!
The visit was way too short and even after I came home, he continued to call me daily….

or.. more so, is going to change my life. the hubbie and i visited it a little over a week ago, and we’re moving there in may. we had it in our minds a while ago, but it’s a reality now. the visit was great. we saw how much the phoenix area is flourishing and are completely sick of this area.

we saw the grand canyon, tempe, flagstaff… it’s all so gorgeous.

here we come!
