So, last Thursday my mom came to town. Picking her up at 2:00 in the afternoon in Phoenix pretty much settled Alex and I's feelings on moving to that area, NOT HAPPENING. It was 113 Degrees!!!!! :\ Big change from what we are used to. We stopped in Anthem on our way back to show mom how nice it is and to get her something to eat. Then we headed back to the cooler mountains :) That night we went to Alex's softball game ( THEY WON!!!! ) First win of the season! whoohoo!
Friday we went down to Sedona. There are tons of little shops there and neat stuff to look at so we did that for a couple hours and then we went to the Chapel of the Holy Cross. It was pretty neat. It looks out over Sedona and it set back in all of this red rock. It set up above this 25 Billion dollar house, which was a bit ridiculous. I think Alex took a picture, so I will have to add that when I add pictures later, but it took a lot of attention away from the chapel...After that we headed back to Flagstaff. It started raining on our way back, but it stopped just intime for us to stop at a neat look-out area. There was a double rainbow which was AWESOME and you could see where one of them ended down in the canyon. Too bad we couldn't go down there to retrieve the pot of gold :( That night we played some Dominos and UNO, which was really fun :)
Saturday was a big day. We got up and got some groceries to make lunch for the Grand Canyon then we headed out. It is only about an hour and a half north of us, to the South Rim. We've heard the North rim is awesome, but it takes about 3 to 4 hours to get there (next time). Anyhow, we walked around most of the south rim and got some neat pictures. It is definitely a big hole, in the middle of nowhere haha. Mom about died a few times when she saw people standing out on the ledge or sitting on rocks that just had a straight drop. One guy was just trying to enjoy his lunch and she started screaming and backing away. Quite commical I must admit :-) Alex and I just shook our heads and laughed. It was definitely a great day though.
We ate at this famous burger place that night "Diablo Burger" it was DELICIOUS!!! Then we walked around downtown for a bit.
Sunday we went to church and then my roommates moved in. They are all REALLY fun and energetic! I think its going to be a great year :) Syd, my roommate is AMAZING! She is super fun and bubbly and outgoing.
Monday morning Mom and I left about 5:15am to get her back to Phoenix for her flight home. It was a pretty drive with the sun rising! But once again...it was 95 degrees at 7:00am. Once again, Not moving down there! haha. Rush hour was not very fun to get through either, but that's to be expected in a big city.
All-in-all the weekend was great, but very busy!!!
This week has been good! Started working more, which is nice! Alex had another game lastnight- they lost, 17 to 1 :/ yikes. But they had fun. Alex got a battle wound. He slid and left a good chunk of hair and skin from his leg on the field. Poor guy!
This weekend there isn't much going on. Probably just hang out with the roomies more and enjoy my last weekend of summer ;) yay!
