Welcome to the Valley of the SUN!! Ryan and I are settling into our apartment here in Ahwatukee. We're loving our new surroundings! There are mountains surrounding us here. Luckily we havent had to suffer through the terrible heat, yet. It has only gotten to 112 so far! Try sitting on a leather seat in a car after it has sat in the sun for a couple of hours! SCALDING. (The reading to the left measures the temperature in the shade and does not reflect the actual temperature in the SUN.)

We visited Sedona 2 hours up north before Ryan started work. The red rocks are really beautiful up there. We didnt have time to get our palms read or have our fortunes told to us or visit one of the "vortexes." But, Ryan got a sweet coyboy hat, I got some cool jewelry, and we got some howling wolves to decorate our apt with.


We found a great church to worship with here. We're blessed to be working with a great group of Christians. Monte Vista church of Christ.

We'll keep you updated on what we are doing around here. More to come soon!
