Trip to the land of eternal sunshine and heat...also known as Arizona!







A few weeks back Ryan and I headed out to Arizona...with us we brought along our amazing and wonderful niece Megan. Megan was coming along with us to see her cousin Alexis (Alex, Ally) whom she had not seen all summer. We told Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Paul and Aunt Cassy that we were bringing Megan and it was going to be a surprise for Ally...and surprise it was. What a great time those two had that weekend.
Ryan and I also had a great time in Arizona..despite the heat (111 degrees..yikes) The time we got to spend with our family out there was priceless...we played cards, we ate....we visited with all the family out there and then it was time to go. Where had the time gone..we had just arrived and now we were packing the car up and heading home.
Our times in Arizona never seem like they are long enough...there is always so much to do and so many family members to see..its hard being so far away from family. But we do enjoy the times we get to spend out there.

Funny note...when we arrived mom and dad came out to greet us at the car and to our surprise we saw a dad that we did not recognize...Dad had grown a beard! He looks so good....just took us by surprise at first!! Dad ...you look great!!!!

Another thing.....I got to experience one of my first Monsoon storms...it was late at night and Megan and I stayed up watching the lighting light up the sky! It was so amazing...an ever present reminder of how AMAZING our GOD truely is!!!
