There is no doubt that it is Monsoon season here! These are pictures from our lovely afternoon storm this past monday. It is kind of hard to capture exactly how hard the rain and hail was coming down, but I'm sure you can imagine it :) The thunder was outrageous also!!! It was shaking the apartment! I was shaking a bit also ;) The power went out at MSI so Alex got to leave work early which was nice. We ran a bunch of errands that night getting stuff for my apartment. I found a lofted bed with a desk underneath, a 6 piece comforter/sheet set, and a desk chair- all for very good prices! I also got a new laptop because mine has definitely seen better days and I wanted a good one that will last the rest of college and still be descent after that as well, so Happy Birthday to me :) haha. Tuesday nothing too exciting happened, Alex and I watched The Girl Who Played With Fire. The books are definitely better than the movies, but it is fun to see the scenes played out to see if they are how I pictured them in my head.
Today Alex got invited to play on the MSI Softball team, so after work we went and played catch for a while. There is a really nice, big field down the trail behind the apartment, so that was fun. There were a lot of people there walking dogs and with their kids- pretty fun to see :)

Ha- Michael Buble's "Home" just came on and it definitely describes our feelings sometimes. Flagstaff is a great place and we love it here, but we definitely miss home!!! Once we get more into work and I get into school and meeting people I don't think we will be as home sick- but we do miss you all! - Just incase you wondered :)
Lets see....Tomorrow is Alex's softball game, so that will be fun. Hopefully we can chat it up a bit with his teammates and hang out with them a bit!
Friday is my Birthday :D I love my birthday- probably my favorite day of the year. But, not really sure what we will do yet. Probably go out to eat, and maybe explore downtown nightlife in Flagstaff, or maybe just relax in the hottub (which probably sounds apalling to most of you) but when it gets down to 55-60 degrees here at night, it feels great!!
Saturday I move into my apartment :) YAY!!!!! One of my roommates will be there just to move her stuff in that day, but she is from Prescott so she will go back for the rest of the summer, and the other two are from Cali so they aren't moving here until Aug 21st :( So, its going to be pretty lonely there for a while,) but they have a lot of get-togethers for the residents so I will for sure be able to meet people at those events. It is a little like dorm life, but not on campus and there are definitely families and older people that live there.
I found a family that I want to baby-sit for and it would work perfect for my schedule, and there is also a really good campus job basically being a receptionist, that would work well for my schedule also!
With the Hozhoni Foundation- they are just waiting for my NE Driving Record and then I can start training, which is exciting :)
