Mischief Managed

Back to the joys of SUMMER! Last week got a little hectic. I had to actually DO things, like go to 36 hours of class in 4 days, move in, and serve in church ministries... but after taking care of business it is back to
1.sleep
2. eat
3. outside
which is how I like it.


My roommates and I successfully moved in to a new apartment last Friday! The apartment was in the same complex as our old one, just at the other end of the parking lot. This allowed our moving plans to be much less strategic and our transportation plans even LESS strategic, as is exhibited by this photo of Britni and I riding on the outside of Ginger's SUV, holding Britni's bed in place with our less than adequate biceps. It was a fun day, and we had plenty of generous help from our friends! Thanks everyone!



A few days after getting settled in, Ginger, Rusty and myself took a day trip to Beaver Creek near Sedona! A five mile hike into the high desert hills ends in THIS:


It was gorgeous! Arizona is totally tops, I don't know how the next state I live in will ever compare to finding THIS kind of scenery in your backyard ALL the time!

So we swam...

jumped...


and had a picnic, enjoying God's ridiculously creative outdoor playground.


Then we hiked a VERY hot (103) five miles BACK to our car, and ended the day back in Flagstaff with a night softball game! What a day!

As for the rest of the week, I attended two physical therapy seminars and several church events! Rusty and I had a few little movie dates and some time to hang out, which will hopefully increase in this upcoming week ( his last in Flagstaff)! After that, we won't live in the same city again until October. Ugh.

Lastly, I'll have everyone take note of the "Euro-ticker" at the top of this blog site, which currently states that Ginger and I are within ONE MONTH of boarding a plan for Paris and beginning our whirlwind 2008 Euroadventure! Ai ai! Look out France, we're comin for ya!
