See Mom?

I can manage to make some pretty good meals on my own. I don't ONLY eat frozen pizzas. :)

Lazy Sunday

I like to relax the night before the work week starts, and I'm pretty sure I do it the right way. Here's my point of view relaxing on my balcony, sipping on my calimocho (red wine and coke!), eating chips and guacamole (from Trader Joe's!) and watching the sunset turn the Catalinas red. Wish you could have been there!

Catalina Sunset

It was another great sunset over the Catalina Mountains (my backyard!!!) so we decided to take a few pictures.


















But then we noticed a few stormy clouds coming our way and some thunder rumbling in the distance...








Naturally I went to my balcony to watch it.




















It still made an incredible sunset. But to be completely honest, every sunset here is an incredible one.

Steve the Pilot

Steve kept himself busy while I was at work all week. He visited the Pima Air and Space Museum, and one day he got to fly a helicopter! I'm very proud of my flying man!

Mount Lemmon, Part 1

The next day, Steve and I made a trip to Mount Lemmon. We were hoping to take a ride on the chair lift at the top, but we got there too late. We decided we'd have to go back later. We got great pictures on the way up though.

Steve couldn't believe the view of these mountains, and that we were driving towards them.

Getting closer...

The majority of the pictures were potato-head ones like this, so I thought I'd put in one. Precious.

Mountain climbing

One of the many vistas we stopped at.

My First Visitor!

During the first weekend, Steve and I decided to check out the Sonoran Desert Museum. It was off-season, so the tickets were cheap, but it was really hot, even at 8 in the morning! Coffee was a must. Unfortunately, a lot of the animals were hiding from the hot desert sun, but Steve and I still had a blast.

Seeing all of the animals was cool, but Steve and I really liked playing around in the caves. Eventually we figured out it was probably made for kids.

You can't really see it, but I swear that I am standing next to running water. I don't see much of that around here, so I wanted a picture with it.

New Addition to the Apartment

I am officially an Arizona resident! I thought it necessary to own a cactus or two. Thanks for the great house-warming present, Mom! My favorite succulent is on the front left--because they are called Baby Toes!
