Max turned five!

Father’s Day

I was looking through my dad's backup drive and found some genealogy pictures. This one of my dad was also in it. I love how happy he looks.  I have been truly blessed to have him as my dad for eternity! I miss him but am grateful for the many memories I have of us together. I am so thankful he was such a wonderful example and friend.

Girls Weekend Out!

I have been blessed with many wonderful friends while living in Arizona! I will miss them!!



Jenny was the first friend I made in AZ. She planned an amazing night out with the ladies from Queen Creek. We were picked up in a limo, went to dinner at Cheesecake Factory, and enjoyed dessert at The Melting Pot.



We have shared many stories, enjoyed much laughter, and indulged in many treats over the years together!!



Rachel has been the best of friends since I dragged her to Arizona.



We went to Nourish 123, an allergy-friendly restaurant in Scottsdale, and enjoyed the beautiful outdoor seating.

10 days and counting

A few weeks ago I was watching a television show and the character asked her counselor: ‘When’s my life going to change?' The counselor responded: ‘When you make a change.’

I have exactly 10 more work days at Family Doctors. I will miss my AZ family and friends. I am looking forward to spending a summer in cooler weather. I am not sure exactly where I am going, but I love the excitement of a new chapter in life.

This is me the first year I was in AZ.

Conversation with Max and Ian.

Me: "Are you guys going to miss me?'

Ian: (without hesitation) "No."

Max: "Why would we miss you. We're all moving to Denver."

Me: "We are?!"

Max: "Yeah!" (duh, Aunt Sarah)

Me: "Actually, you guys are moving to Denver. I'm moving to Grandma's house."

Ian: "You're going to Washington?'

Me: (laughing) "No, silly. Grandma Mary's house!"

Don't worry, they are still confused about it! But, yep! I'm moving home. At least for the month of July! And it's official because I told my boss... anyone want to roadtrip/help me move all my stuff there???

change is all around

My old roommate, Jen, is getting married next month to Forrest! I met him for the first time last night. They are a great couple and compliment each other perfectly! I am so happy for her!



P.S. I got my hair cut. What do you think?
