ARIZONA

Warm, sunny, beautiful, nice, and very DIFFERENT, are some of the things I would say describe Mesa, Arizona. Our new "temporary" home. We have been here a little over a week now. We left on the 7th of January, and arrived on the Monday following. Our "little" 3-day road trip went suprisingly smoothly, especially for sweet Hudsie. I'de say out of the whole 17 hour drive Hudson cried maybe a total of 25 minutes. I was so proud of him, and to make our trip better, we were able to meet up with my parents in Las Vegas along the way. My Dad just so happened to be doing a convention for his job that weekend, and my Mom went with him. Perfect timing! We stayed a night at the Treasure Island Hotel, and had an awesome time hanging out with them there! We were also able to stop in St. George and stay a night with my Nana, which was such a treat to be able to spend some time with her as we rarely see her.
When we arrived late Monday nightin Mesa , Derek's cousins were at our Appartment complex waiting to help us unload our U-haul. It was a big sigh of relief for me just knowing that we had people here who love and care about us. Govi, Danielle's wife and I have become quite close in the small amount of time that we have spent with them so far, and I'm sure we have lots of fun times ahead in the next four months!
I have a bazillion pictures of Hudson in the pool, and of lots of our other adventures along the way so far, but its too late to post them all right now, I'll have to do that tomorrow~ But all in all everything is going great, miss my family of course, but this is good. night :-)
