Here's another quick one

Alright, another quick update here. We hit our first 100-degree weather day today! Hooray! Okay, so maybe not so much a hooray as an "Oh dang. Here it comes." But the weather people say it'll cool back down to the 80's by this weekend. I hope so. Something amusing that Kyle and I enjoy here though is the weather reports, especially during the summer. It is always some variation of, "It's gonna be hot. And maybe a chance of rain. But definitely hot!" My favorite may have been today's channel 5 news commercial: "We reached the triple digits today. How many of those days are we going to be seeing this summer?" Let me see, umm, maybe like everyday for the next 5 or 6 months! Seriously, is that supposed to get me to watch the news later just to find out how many HOT! days we're going to experience? Sorry channel 5, didn't work for me.

Anywho, on a brighter note...We celebrated our one-year anniversary last weekend. Thank you, thank you. No applause needed. We have had a fun first year together, and we're looking forward to another great year ahead. Kyle was so sweet and surprised me with a beautiful arrangement of flowers with a note that said: "One spectacular rose for one spectacular year." (Sorry sweetie if this embarrasses you. It was so sweet though, I had to share it. :) ) I surprised him with a carton of Super Loaded chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. We also were able to celebrate by using gift cards Kyle got from work at Borders to buy ourselves 4 new books, 2 for each of us. Yes, perhaps a bit nerdy and not necessarily everyone's ideal first-year anniversary celebration. But we loved it. We both love reading and love being in bookstores, so it was perfect for us. Wouldn't have had it any other way. Plus it was Easter weekend. So what better way to spend our first anniversary together than by celebrating being sealed for eternity and reflecting on the Savior's gift to us of eternal life? No better way!

And one last quick update... we have put an offer on a house! It is a short sale, so we now wait for the bank to tell us if they accept our offer or not. But we are super excited! It is in a great location and is a great house. So wish us luck. Better yet, pray for us that the right thing will happen. We are very excited about this house, but know, especially with a short sale, that anything can happen. So we're trying to keep calm about the whole thing. But it's a great house! :)

Well, that's all for now. Oh except... I am about to begin teaching one, maybe two, more students violin. That will bring the total to four or five (respectively). Okay, now that's all I can think of. Chat with you later! See ya, from the AZ'ers.
