Tuscon, Arizona

So, my wonderful trip to Arizona has come and gone.... but I must say, it was the perfect place to get away and relax. Though we did do a lot of fun things! The first day I got there Emily took me to this Mexican restaurant that was awesome and very authentic. It was so delcious. Then we got to Emily's house, but on the way there, it was a very scenic drive... (pictures below) Who knew a desert could be so beautiful? On thursday Emily took me to Arizona for the benefit of my husband to go visit Hard Rock Cafe and get him a collector's beer glass. So she made it an overnighter and we stayed at this awesome hotel for super cheap!!! So when we got there we layed out at the pool and when we got up we noticed we were in the shade! We were so relaxed we didn't really care but we laughed out heads off. But we did move over a few chairs down and did it again! Oh well! It was probably a good thing because I was falling a sleep.
This was how hot it was in Phoenix! But amazingly it was bearable :) It was actually pretty nice!

Here are just a couple pictures from the Hard Rock Cafe. The guitars were the chandelier in the middle of the restaraunt. It was pretty cool, it took me a few tries to get it in the center. But it was pretty cool :)
This is one of the homes by Emily's house, the lady that lives here is in her ward. It's it amazing beautiful? I loved it I had to take a picture of it.
And of course I had to stop and get a donut here because they are so amazing! I had to take a picture for proof for my husband :)

These few pictures was our scenic drive to Emily's house.... I think it's beautiful.



These are the wonderful people that took me in for a few days!! Emily and her husband Brandon, thanks for letting me come and visit you!!!

And a Welcome Home poster from my kids :) I couldn't get them to look at the camera.... especially Adie...
I had a wonderful time!! This trip was exactly what I needed. I was really starting to feel trapped and and I needed to get out. I was able to take a few naps which never ever happens!! We also did manicures and pedicures which were awesome and did a lot of shopping and lounging around. It was nice to feel lazy!!
