Concrete Beach

For the past 2 months, 3 times a week, Jared, Brent and I have been regulars at the water park. We bought season passes for the 3rd year in a row, and we are loving it! There is a HUGE wave pool, with actual beach like waves, and everyday from 4-4:30 they have a body board session. They only allow people with body boards to be in the wave pool, and it has been so fun to be out there as a family. Jared takes Brent on his board, and I ride my own. Brent LOVES it! In a 1/2 hour period we get to catch about 12 waves and when it's over we ride the water slides. Brent is not afraid of any of them, I'm so proud of him! We will miss our concrete beach, seeing as we are moving this weekend, but we are off to a real beach in San Clemente for 2 1/2 weeks!

Hanging out in doors

So, the weather here in Arizona is psycho! I can't believe people actually wanted to settle here, it is SO hot. Brent and I are trying to stay cool by going to the water park everyday, and staying inside with the AC on. I have been procrastinating the packing of our house, even though we are moving in 2 weeks. There is so much to be done, but the heat makes me SOOOOOOO lazy!

The House has SOLD!

YAAAAAAAA! Our house sold! We didn't expect it to happen so suddenly, but it was meant to be. We got an offer on it 2 days after we put it on the market, and everything has fallen into place since then. We are still waiting that 10 day period for the home inspection and stuff, but once that is over, it will really be official. The guy buying our house wants to close in 30 days, so that means Jared, Brent and I have to be be out of the house by the end of the month! There is so much to do, I can't even imagine how many boxes we are going to need. So where are we going? That's the big question everyone is asking. Well, I had already made plans before all the house selling stuff had even occurred, to spend most of the summer not in Arizona. Jared, Brent and I will be going to California to stay with my parents for a couple of weeks in July, to enjoy the beach. After that, Brent and I are going to Utah, to stay with my in-laws while Jared goes to New Mexico for work for 2 weeks. He will then join us for another week in Utah, and then we will finally be home around August 15th! I'm going to live out of a suit case for 2 months! When we come back from Utah, we are renting a house in Anthem, AZ (north Phoenix area) close to Jared's work. Since Jared is planning on graduating in December, we wanted to be able to leave as soon as he gets a job, and not have to worry about selling or renting out a house. So, that is our story, and plans for the summer. I'm going to miss Mesa, and all the friends I have made, but I'm excited for this new phase in our lives.
