It was 75 degrees and sunny in Arizona last weekend

I can't believe it is the last week in February - holy cow! Denin & I just got back from Arizona, it was so warm and beautiful (ugly and cold here)- why did we move back?! Okay, I know why... family, but I still miss it, especially our friends! We spent Wednesday night through Sunday morning with our friends Courtney & Jim and their son Caden, I had to work a little bit, but we still had a great time. We spend most of our trip eating - we miss some of the restaurants in Phoenix so we eat, and eat, and eat some more, and when we aren't eating we usually are shopping! Peter Piper Pizza is our favorite! Yes, our favorite is a restaurant much like Chuck E. Cheese, perhaps we need to grow up, or realize pizza is not a food group, but we use to eat there almost daily when we lived in our apartment in Glendale, and now we have withdrawals - we get to eat there twice a visit and only once a year :( I wont recap much more of the visit since Courtney has already posted her recap of our visit!

Jim & Court let us stay with them, even though Courtney is now less than 3 weeks away from her scheduled delivery of baby boy #2, and I'm sure our visit disrupted valuable nesting time! Jim survived me... I believe I still scare him, even though he has known me for over 8 years now, but I am loud and sarcastic, and nicknamed him Suzy and Denin Floozy, for their interest in brightly colored Martinis! So, thank you for putting up with us/me! We were a complete mystery to Caden, but of course Denin won his affections quickly - next time we will bring the boys! While we played in Phoenix, the boys stayed at Grammy & Grandpa's - I believe everyone survived, the boys had fun, and when we came back they still listened to us (sometimes they can be quite challenging after a day at Grammy's, much less 5 days)!

We will take the family back to Arizona in a couple of month's after Courtney has the baby, that should be an adventure, but then we can go back to Peter Piper Pizza!!!!! (Courtney, I promise, I like you more than the pizza - I promise).
