A New Tradition - a.k.a. AZ Trip I

~ Summer's are miserable in Arizona.

~ Winter's are miserable in Utah.

So, Me, Trevor and my friend, Michelle, have come up with a solution.. ...

In September, Michelle came to visit us in Utah. It was a nice break from the hot, hot, hot AZ weather, and it was lovely chance to spend some time together.

......Fast Forward to January.

This past January, we decided we needed a break from the cold and flew to lovely AZ for a visit. It was wonderful! One of the highlights was when we hit a street fair in Glendale called Glendale Glow. There were air balloons, street bands, and tons... and tons... and tons of food. We loved it!

It was so amazing being so close to air balloons that were so close to each other. And, it was rather cold, so it was also nice to be next to something so warm.

Don't we look cute! After 20 years it's an older cute, but I think we pull it off.

This is Trevor and I looking even cuter. .. yes, in Arizona you wear T-shirts in the January cold.

I LOVE IT!


What can I say. Some girls can just rock a hat. .... I'm that girl, by the way.

This is how close we were to the balloons, and how close they were to the buildings. CRAZY!

"The Oak Creek Band" was wonderful to listen to. We loved them so much,

we bought their c.d... .. it's great.




This is a little food joint that was on Dinners, Dives, and Drive ins. It's called Chino Bandido, and they serve ~ Are you ready ~ Chinese-Mexican food. True Story. I can not tell you HOW GOOD the food was. Who knew!

It was sooooo nice to see one another after only a few months apart (as opposed to a few years). So, we decided to start a new tradition, and make the "breaks away from weather/spend time with old friends" something we do every year. Michelle, Trevor and I have done the traveling thing. We've also done the youthful party thing. Now, it's all about just being together in nice weather.

I love getting older with old friends!
