Weekend in Arizona

The weekend of my birthday this year fell on weekend where everyone else had to be out of town. My dad was in Alabama, Doug & Kregg were in Utah, and Alyssa was at Girl Scout Camp. So I decided that my only option was to go out of town too. :o) I decided to go visit my friend Jenny.


If you've never driven from California to Arizona, I must tell you, that you aren't missing much. The only things between here and Arizona, are windmills, cactus, desert, and weird electrical towers that look like cows. I attached some pictures in case you really felt like you were missing something.

The prettiest thing on the drive up there was the sunset.

While I was only able to stay for a couple of days, Jen & I were able to do a lot. We went to my favorite bookstore, Bookmans. It's a huge used bookstore, where you can turn in your old books for store credit to get more books. It's honestly a vicious cycle but so much fun. Everytime I go to Arizona, I end up taking a box of books with me to trade in. Can't wait to do it again. ;o) We also managed to get some stuff set up at Jen's apartment.

We set up the bed in her guest bedroom.

We built a table and chairs. It turned out pretty nice, if I do say so myself. ;o)

We also built a fire in her very own fireplace. I must say that I'm very jealous that she has a fireplace in her apartment! How come we don't have stuff like that in California?

It was a fantastic weekend. I'm so glad that I was able to go out and visit. But when I got up to go home on Sunday, I remembered why I was glad that I live in California...it was only 12 degrees outside. Sooooo COLD!!! I guess that's why she needs a fireplace. ;o)


Thanks for letting me visit Jen! We'll have to do it again soon!
