Arizona Trip
It's been about a week since Kacey and I got back from our adventure in Arizona so I think it's about time to talk about it.
Kacey and I left on December 4 after I got off work and drove through the night. We arrived at my sisters house at 4:30 in the morning on December 5. After about a 5 hour nap at my sisters house we took off to southern Pheonix to go apartment shoppping. We looked at 5-7 different complexes that day and they all started to blend together in ours minds. Luckily my genius husband had the idea to video tape our tours so we know what we looked at!
Every single complex we looked at had fountains or waterfalls outside of them. Here is a picture of one of them.
The next day, Saturday, we hung out with my sister at her husband. They introduced us to something called geocashing. It's like a treasure hunt and its pretty fun! Kacey and I may have to pick it up too. To geocash you need a GPS, that's what the blue thing is you see in the pictures.
Here's Dixon
Even Titan likes to help
A geocash can be anything. Most of them hold little things, you are supposed to bring something to put in it and then take something out of it and sign the log book that is inside. This one was an Altoids container.
Later that day there way a fair type of thing with hot air balloons and all sorts of animals. Here is our favorite balloon and lots of the animals we got to see and touch.
Parrots

A 2 toed sloth
Hawk
MASSIVE turtle
Fox
No this is not a massive husky... it is a Wolf
There were a lot more animals than this but these were my favorites. I was SOOO excited to pet an aligator!
On Sunday, after church, Kacey and I decided to go back down to southern Pheonix to explore where we would be living. I wish I would have brought the camera. We went to one of the 3 malls in the area and this one had a Carosell on the middle of the food court and 6 different sections of the mall... each of these sections could have almost been its own mall! I can see myself getting in a lot of trouble in the place $-). Later we went to the Mesa Temple gounds where they had Christmas light. We walked around for an hour before Karen and Dixon made it. We looked around for another hour and decided that we had had enough. So we got in the car and wondered around Mesa (more like getting lost) and eventually back to my sister's house to go to bed.

Monday, we had a few more apartments to look at. I did that and got to know the area a little more.
We were sad to go on Tuesday morning, especially since we were coming back to VERY cold weather.
We are excited about our prospective move but a little nervous at the same time. Once we are there I'm sure we will settle in and be just fine.
