Arizona-It's really hot here

Well, here we are.  We are now officially living in Arizona.  We left last Sunday morning and drove the 12 hours straight to get here.  It was a little bumpy and a lot windy but we made it safe and sound.  We then had the pleasure of unloading the truck.  Luckily, our friends the Linn's came and helped us or else we still might be unloading it.  The Linn's have been awesome, they helped us find a place to live, let us crash at their house and helped us unload our truck.  I don't know what I would have done without their help!  We are settling in nicely and have unpacked most of the boxes. Here is our new little house that I am sooooo excited about.  We have always lived in basements and there are so many things I miss.

Yeah! Notice the windows above ground. oooooohhh aaaahhhhhhh

And look- 2 sinks and a tub!

This is our 5x8 yard with astroturf

This is Andrew vacuuming our astroturf-its kind of like mowing the lawn, but not really

And check out the dishwasher IN the counter. No rollaway needed

This is the living room, Andrew is hiding.  We need a kitchen table where I am standing but we don't have one yet

The master bedroom with ample space.  Even enough to let Andrew put his dresser in the room instead of banish him to the spare bedroom

Now, you can all come and visit me.  I may warn you-it is hot here. Very hot.  I actually enjoy it but you definitely have to stay inside.  If you are outside, water is required.  It is nice here.  Everything is so clean and there are a ton of parks and walkways.  Andrew and I have taken a couple of bike rides since we got here and I must say, I'm a better biker at sea level.  But to my dismay, there are no hills to ride down(but no hills to ride up either) just flat, miles of flat.  I have spent the week getting settled, changing all the addresses, unpacking boxes, getting utilities set up, etc.  Not exactly what I would call fun but necessary.  I also had and interview at St. Joseph's hospital but I can only say the interview went...eh. Neither bad nor good, just eh.  I should find out this week but I am not keeping my hopes up, I felt like they already had someone for the job. If I don't get the job, I will be returning to Utah this week sometime.  Andrew has orientation Wednesday and Thursday and starts school next Monday. Oooooooh! Till then I will keep you updated.
