For the wedding we knew we needed to secure as many photos of the event as we could, but we didn’t have the budget for thousands of dollars for a wedding photographer, plus we weren’t really looking for someone to provide us with prints of the photos from the wedding… So we hunted around for […]

Some insect ate my face and we had fun sightseeing in Tennessee!
I got to attend my prenatal visit at The Farm with a giant swollen bump on my face from a spider or something! It was swelling and itching and I even had itchy red eyes for part of the day. Add that to the giant cold sore on my lip and I was a walking […]
7 days to go and we have news!
Our going away party was yesterday as most of you know. Our crazy week of working the week before pretty much left us unprepared for the going away party. Our house was just trashed. So we spent much of yesterday morning straightening and cleaning in preparation for the party. N insisted that we go for […]

Thoughts on struggle and peaceful garden photos
To me the hardest thing is to watch a loved one go through trying times and to not be able to help them. My brother is dealing with some heavy stuff right now. He had a child with a girlfriend and they have just come to terms with the idea that they can’t be together […]
I feel good! Are we ahead of the game?
Well, we spent the weekend dealing with yard sale crap and we even devised a little marketing ploy for our sale. N made up a nifty flier and I just posted it all over the internets this morning! We are fleeing poverty with a view! A well known Flagstaff personality is leaving Arizona… Come buy […]
Finding rental houses (not apartments) online…
I have never understood why finding rental homes online is so much more difficult than finding apartments. When we moved out to Flagstaff, AZ we rented several apartments over the course of 2 years. Apartment complexes just don’t make things easy for multiple pet owners and families with kids seldom want to live in an […]

The earth is cooking me!
Good lord it is hot here! Last night it was about 80 degrees inside our home (from the days heat) and about 60 degrees outdoors at 10 pm! A 60 degree night time high is considered quite WARM here and we were baking. We went through the storage shed and dug out the fans, set […]
Snow in may, what is going on? and Mothers day weekend – part 1
Well, I awoke this morning to lots of fluffy white stuff falling and covering everything. We were foretasted for some thunderstorms last night and today. The possibility of snow was mentioned but no accumulation was expected. Here that means the snow melts as soon as it hits the ground. Doesn’t look like that is the […]
Are you celebrating today? Happy day!
Today is Cinco de Mayo and it also happens to be N’s birthday. He is working today so we celebrated his birthday yesterday. We headed out to the Grand Canyon Deer Farm that is just west of Flagstaff on old route 66, then we stopped in at Pine Country Restaurant where they are famous for […]
Silly town commericals
This one is for Janelle! She posted about a silly commercial that aired in her town and encouraged her readers to share commercials from their town. Since my satellite dish can’t find a signal (it’s covered in snow and I am too darn cold to climb on to the roof to brush it off) I […]
Sometimes I would like to just be a hermit.
Today has been eventful for us. We had to head into town to do some minimal grocery shopping so we did that today between my teaching class this morning and N having to work this afternoon. We shop at the local Sam’s club, we buy food in bulk and make it last. Anyway when we […]
We can cook again and we will be moving, again…
The last few days have been a bit trying for us as some of you know. On Tuesday night our gas stove/ oven caught fire and that was enough to make me drink hard liquor! Wednesday we were told by the rental company that a new stove was on the way but were not given […]

My butt is sore….
Okay, so yesterday we took our dog and set out to hike to the top of Mt. Elden here in Flagstaff, AZ. When we first moved up here we tried but only made it half way… We vowed to make it to the top before we move away and we finally accomplished this yesterday.
