So Much To Post!

We made it to Flagstaff! A big thank-you to everyone that helped with the move that was awesome. We haven't been able to post anything as they are trying to get our internet installed in the new place. They are having some trouble I guess. We've been using the school's! Anyway, since we got to Flagstaff we've been doing lots of exploring...

This first one is a little one of downtown. Such a beautiful historic downtown. The houses and stores are so cute.



This is the view from our driveway. Isn't it green? Its a great location. There is a bus stop right in front of our house we plan on using. And its right behind NAU.



Here's our house! Its a two-bedroom with an open floor plan. I really like it. We were so lucky because right before we came they replaced all the carpeting and the faucets. We lucked out.



This is our backyard. There is a little gated area and then it just goes straight up a hill into forest.



Here's our bedroom...



This is the front room.



And the kitchen has so much counter space woohoo! But I guess I have no excuse now for not cooking :)



A couple days ago Gary and I decided to drive down to Lake Mary. Its about 6 miles from our house and we fell in love with it!



Gary and his "floating penny trick". I learn something new about my husband everyday.



Here's the dam. And there's Angela, the dam girl. haha



There are all these massive dandelion things. I just think they are so pretty. Side note: that picture is completely posed. The first three times I blew on it, nothing happened! Those things are tough. So I had to shake it and pretend.



Ahhh, Lake Mary.
There are all kinds of picnic areas and you can take out a canoe and fish if you want. We plan on hiking around it pretty soon.




Okay Cardinal's training! They train right around the corner from our house. We were driving by about the third day after we moved in and so we stopped and watched. We came back the next day and got some awesome pictures!

This first one is Gary with Kurt Warner! Gary really likes this player a lot. He seemed really nice and was very willing to take pics and say hello. We were the last ones in the line and I felt bad asking for a picture! But he was super nice about it.



Me with Kurt Warner!



This is the line-up at the gate for all the fans to get autographs and pictures. The little kids were so cute calling for their favorite players.



Matt Leinart and me! Isn't he a giant? I have to say I don't know much about football but I actually did know who he was! He partied with Paris Hilton!!!




Gary and Matt Leinart! I think they look related.



Cardinals out practicing on the field. That huge lift thing holds a cameraman. Isn't that crazy? I do not like heights...



Well Flagstaff is treating us well. We are still figuring out our way around town. And we miss all of you! The first night we got there we were both happy about being there but felt sad. We went to church on sunday and it made me realize how blessed we are. And that we are supposed to be here. But we plan on visiting the valley as often as possible. And if anyone ever needs a place to stay or just wants to come up and say hi...please do! We actually have an extra room now for visitors!

Changes & Crying

It finally hit me (Angela) that we are moving in ONE WEEK! There are so many things I want to do here! Like hang out with everyone I know and love! Eat at all the restaurants they don't have in Flag!! I had my last day of work on Thursday and it didn't feel real. I've been there for two years and I really have loved it. I had a great boss. But, I didn't expect to CRY! It was so embarassing. If anyone knows me, they know I am a very calm, relaxed person. I cry in front of family. Period.
No one else. Well. I made it through the day just fine, I was actually a little excited to be on my way and take a week off of work to pack. The end of the day comes and Dr. Matt (my boss) is like "well, you gotta give me hug!" and BAM! Waterworks! I hate crying because I have this weird thing where I can't talk when I cry and if I do I sound like a monster! Oh...it was bad. Of course everyone was really sweet about it. I guess I need to see a counselor or something because that was a big deal for me!!

P.S. You get some very interesting pictures when you google "crying".
