life in the valley of the sun

lately i've wanted to post more about our life in arizona. so here are some pics for all of you back home buried in the snow. it was 83 degrees on saturday and it was wonderful. yes, i'm trying to make you utahns jealous. if we have to live far away from family for 4 years, atleast we can brag about the weather. these are some shots of my every day life:

school:


this is what i see on campus every day... palm trees are just so friendly, aren't they? i don't have any pictures of midwestern's campus. i'll have to take some shots and post them on here so you can see where jeff pretty much lives...



work:

these are the cute girls i get to spend most of my time with, madison and cali. i get to make sugar cookies and go to the park for my job! i have pretty much the best job and hang out with the cutest girls, i'm so lucky.

making valentine's cookies

all set for our picnic with their lunches!
at the park enjoying our picnic and the beautiful sunshine

and play:

jeff and i actually got to hang out during his spring break! it was so nice. this is at a spring training game for the mariners and the padres with some of our friends. this was the day it reached 83, we got some nice tan lines sitting at this game!

well, there you have it! now you all know a little bit more about what i do every day. i highly recommend living in arizona during the winter months! ok i'll stop. i'm just really enjoying the weather this year, can ya tell? :)

Can I move in with you?? I just might show up with my bags one day! I can't stand this cold weather anymore! Let's just hope that it gets alot warmer in the next few weeks or you might have a new roommate!

Those girls you nanny are so cute! That would be such a fun job.
