First Anniversary of Entering Arizona

I have been putting off finishing this post, so act as though you were viewing it back in October. ;-)

October 8, 2008, was the first anniversary of our arrival into the state of Arizona. It has been a tough year. We have had many struggles: NO family or relatives around to relieve us from the children when they were driving us crazy, emotional struggles ( ex..when we need someone to talk with face to face-- I was 8 weeks pregnant when we moved), and not being able to find work for a long while, but we obviously managed. We have had a lot of help from our friends in both wards. We feel blessed to have them in our lives. I feel I should repay them, but I don't know how, a card doesn't seem to do it justice. Anyway, to say these least, the LDS church has come through for us and we really appreciate it. We love looking forward to seeing our families (grandparents, sisters, brothers, cousins, etc...), it's fun to see everyone.

Love you all, Theresa

Crazy Arizona Weather!

Holy Crap! It's all I can think to say about one of the craziest rainstorms I've ever seen. I live in Arizona, so rain is very scarce. When it does rain, it is always a down-pour, but it doesn't really last very long. The storm I saw happened on 8/28/2008; my birthday :-). There was very little thunder, but the lightning seemed to flash several times every second. Don't believe me? Let the video clarify my astonishment :-o



I couldn't upload my video, but this is the best one I found on YouTube :-D There is constant thunder in the background, but where I saw this storm, the thunder was barely audible.
