We drove down on Wednesday. Although the drive is a ridiculous nine hours, I still love it. I just like seeing it get warmer and more familiar. I never thought the desert was pretty when we would make these drives when I was a kid but now it reminds me that I am going home and I love it!
Thursday, we went swimming and absorbed all of the sun we could. I think we are both a little tanner! We had a barbecue for dinner and then went to the Desert Botanical Gardens to see the Chihuly Glass Exhibit. It was so cool! The weather was perfect and we both renewed our love of desert nights.
Friday,we layed out again, the weather was in the 80s and breezy! We got In and Out for lunch (a requirement of Dan's) and then drove to Phoenix to Chase Field. My mom's fiancee's son got us really good seats to see the Diamondbacks play the SF Giants. Baseball isn't my favorite but it was so cool to see the stadium and we were so close to the field!
Saturday, we took my mom out to breakfast for Mother's day at Crackers! Oh my goodness it was so good! Afterward we met up with Tara and saw Earth. It was so good to see her! I dropped Dan off at the house to watch some basketball and then went shopping with the girls! We got to meet Ashley's new boyfriend for dinner. Cori was doing a photography project and asked me to turn her and Tres into zombies.
I gladly agreed, did their makeup, smeared "blood" on them and then headed over to my dads. We were going to start packing but just couldn't leave. We decided to stay just one more day and I am so glad.Sunday, we aquired some terra cotta pots from my mom (I always leave with more than I bring!) and just hung out. We played a ton of games with my dad and Julie. I pretty much lost at everything but one round of Clue but it was still so fun. We finally packed up (if I didn't have to be at work tomorrow we may not have) and got some sleep for the drive today. Now we are in Flagstaff and adjusting to the idea of cold. We heard it snowed and we are not looking forward to what we are coming back to!

Hey, guys. I read your update before the photos, so I guess the addition of the photos means you made it back safely! Again, it was great to have you down here. Keep us update on the internship.
I love it Nicole! It makes me want to go home. Bad. And I am the EXACT same way about the desert scenery...but as I drive or fly into Arizona and see it get more and more brown...home. I love it! And now you're back, I need to see you!
