Cold front!

Hello! We have had record breaking temps for the past week or so.. but a cold front is heading our way tonight! Which means, the high temp tomorrow is a cool 96 degrees. I'm going to be honest- I am looking forward to it. Ted and Boris are too.

We haven't done anything too exciting yet, but in 10 days we are heading to Vegas for a quick 3 day trip. I have never been there, and last time Pat was there he was about 15. We are going with about 8 people and it should be a great time. I will take pictures so the blog isn't so boring :-)

I have quite a few new wedding stationery clients- so I have been busy with that, Pat has been busy with exams (he took a test on Friday and every single person in the class failed... yikes. The professor is letting them retake it in small groups tomorrow) and Ted and Boris have been busy snoozing on the tile floor.

Today I looked up apple orchards in Arizona.. there are actually a bunch, but they are all out east closer to New Mexico. There are about 8 big orchards with apples, peaches, and all the other typical fall foods, and I guess the trees even change color over there. I am thinking we may have to take a day trip sometime later in October when it cools off.

Anyway- I hope you all are doing well up north, and are enjoying breaking out the sweaters and jeans! You could leave a comment occasionally- dont be shy!

Also, if someone could tell Casey shes pretty for me that would be great. And has anyone seen my golf shoes? I thought they were down here but I looked..

Week 1 Recap

Well, we survived the wedding, the plane ride, the post-plane ride flu, and week 1 of being in Arizona together! Since I don't have a whole lot of news, this is going to be a quick bullet point update of the past 9 days :-) And I promise, I will try my hardest not to talk about the heat more than 4 times per post.

• We got Library cards, and let me tell you, the Phoenix library system is HUGE. We will probably even cancel our netflix because they have pretty much every movie in the world. I have read 3 books (sorry Gramps- havent started Ronald Reagan yet), and Pat has watched 2 movies :-)
• The Arizona transportation department really needs to reconsider the way they mark their streets, plan their turn lanes, and build their intersections.
• If you leave 2 sticks of butter on the counter in Arizona to soften, for more than an hour, they will not only soften but will melt. Into liquid. (Thank you Patrick for keeping the house at a frothy 83 degrees.)
• I made Chili for dinner tonight, and Pat said it was good. Progress :-)

Well, there you have it! Week 1 and all is well.

PS We are now accepting reservations for the super cold snowy travel season!
