First Night Home!



Sunday night was our first night hanging around and really "being" in our home! It was such a nice night. The weather (yes the weather in Arizona!) was perfect! It was in the low 60s with a nice breeze. We BBQ on the grill and sat outside to eat. It was such a nice night out! The kids played on the new playground set I got off of craigslist for them last week. I kept thinking this is so nice to have a place for them to play or this is so nice to be able to eat outside. It feels so GOOD out here! I was loving it!

As it got a little later and a little cooler we built a fire in the chiminea. Tony almost burnt down the neighbors palm trees in the process! He stuck a bunch of cardboard in it and the flames were shooting straight up in the air! We thought for sure the palms were going to catch on fire! We had a good laugh at how we have the ability to horrify the neighbors from day one! I told Tony we just had to give them a little taste of the times to come living next door to the Herdmans Vidals !

Life in Arizona was actually really nice for a night!

I am glad you have finally made the move. You probably feel relaxed(if you can after you pack and pack forever). I am glad that everything worked out and that you have a place that you can call home. Cute playset!!! Craigslist can have some great bargins and finds.

Yeah! I am so glad that you are finally in such a wonderful home. Hopefully, it makes Arizona seem like a better place to live. If not, we love Virginia and you are always welcome to move out by us with all of your great babysitters.

How cool is that. I love the outdoor fireplace! Are you going to the reunion or not going?

Yeah. Isn't it funny how a change of a house can make all the difference? Nice fireplace, gezz Tony, do ya have to introduce yourself to neighbors by burning down the place??? :) Glad to hear that you are getting comfortable finally! Welcome to AZ now!
