Josh & I have now been Tucson residents for about 3 months!! I have to say that I think we both like it A LOT more than we thought we would! It is so beautiful down here!! And its nice to have a little more of a small town feel! We have got to do quite a few things in the short time we have been here and have experienced many new things... One of those was real rain storms! For the first few month or so that we lived here it rained almost every day! We loved it! Tucson has some of the most beautiful & bright thunderstorms I have seen! I have also got the chance to try out EVAP! I thought I was going to die our first few weeks, because it was so humid (evap doesn't work that well with a ton of moisture in the air) and it turned out that the pads in the cooler had never been changed! Luckily when Tom & Shirley came down they helped change out the pads; which looked like a huge block, because of all the build up! It seriously got so much cooler after that! And speaking of cooler I think we are going to have a much COLDER winter than we are used to because it has been Phoenix winter weather down here recently!! BRRR... I am such a wimp!!
We have also had some interesting bugs! One morning driving Josh to school I saw this leaf slowly blowing across the hood of the car, but with a closer look we realized it wasn't a leaf at all but a bug that looked EXACTLY like a leaf! So cool! A few days ago when we got home we found this outside our door!
A praying mantis! I have only seen these a few times and definately not in Phoenix! They are so crazy lookin'!
We have a great ward down here and Josh also has some good LDS buddies from his class! It is so nice to go anywhere in the world and have an instant family and people who care about you! One of the couples in our ward are a big part of the Prop 102 movement down here in Tucson! I have wanted a sign so bad and just got one yesterday for the yard!
Down here EVERYONE seems so liberal! I sometimes get very frustrated and discouraged, so being one of the few signs that say YES on 102 makes me so excited... I just had to take a picture!! Anyway! Things are great! Josh is keeping busy with school! And I will be working soon! HURRAY!!
