More on Arizona

We're back now from our exiting trip and SOOOO much happened!!! For one, we had a REALLY fun time with our friends the Turleys! Second, we got to go see the site for the gunfight at the O.K Corral in Tombstone. We took pictures of both the conference and the O.K. Corral. I'll try to post some of them as soon as I can!!!

Arizona!! It's SO hot here! About 120 degrees outside. The only good thing about the weather here (I'm being a 'Pollyanna' :D) is that it's not humid like it is in Houston. Everyone's with us except Mom, Christa, Emma, Abby and William.
Today we got to go to a place near our hotel that's a sort of Asian shopping strip. It has a restraunt called "The Golden Buddha" that has WONDERFUL food! There is also some beautiful gazeebos and such outside of the shopping strip that are also very Asian. We got a bunch of pictures there and I will try to post them as soon as I can.
I'm gonna close now because we are enjoying watching "Little Bighorn: The Untold Story". :D

"There's no place like home!"

There really is no place like home!
Driving through Kansas on our way to Virginia my mind happened to wander to "The Wizard of Oz" (Of course, I guess anyone's mind would wander to that if you're in Kansas!). I found myself wishing that I could click my red shoes together and chant "There's no place like home! THere's no place like home!"
I guess you probably know now, WE'RE HOME! Let me tell you, you can never appreciate your home until you've been gone from it for almost 6 weeks. I love being home! I just love it!
But I thought I'd share a little about my trip on here, so I've posted some pictures from it. Enjoy!
