Travelling to Arizona

Well, we are getting settled in here in Arizona. The last week in Provo was crazy. Packing and moving can really drag you down during the Christmas season. I mean, we were pumped to get out of the dungeon, but the stress involved is killer.

The biggest success of the move was the retirement of Kristi's life size teddy bear, "Mister Hersey." I liked the good ole boy, but it was time to part ways. We looked at Kristi's graduation as a graduation from Mr. Hersey too.


The trip down to Arizona was pretty grueling too. Snow from the night before made the roads slick....We took a fun detour through a little town called Overton in Nevada. I actually got to see our tax dollars putting people to work too! The America Reinvestment and Recovery act has commissioned the repaving of some twenty five miles in a National Park (a.k.a. smack dab in the middle of no where). I think we saw about five cars in about a two hour strip of this scenic drive. Don't get me wrong, the new roads were beautiful. At some points there were islands for planting flowers and curbs that made it look like new subdivisions were going to spring up all over the place. I am so proud.



Well, Christmas was a amazing. We went to an assisted living community on Christmas Eve and sang. Extremely heart warming. On the 27th, Kristi and I celebrated our One year anniversary. Dad can't make fun of us anymore. We made it past the year mark! I am so happy to have Kristi as my wife. She is beautiful and caring. She is witty and intelligent. She makes me whole on so many levels. I look forward to a long life and beyond with her by my side. To all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
