Arizona -- [and the Wedding]

We go faster and faster, then the plane lifts off.  As we soar higher above the ground everything keeps getting smaller; till the cars look like toys and the ground like a Monopoly board… Finally the seatbelt sign flashes off, I recline my seat and take out my notepad to write. 
My pen keeps moving slower as I recount all the memories made this past week.  I look out my window again and wonder how time can fly so fast?
i vacations and  I’ll use any excuse to take one. This time it was because a friend {Hannah} was getting married. The place? Arizona. We flew out last Thursday {only Papa, Momma, Abigail & I -- Lincoln & Bethany got to stay with Uncle Steve, Aunt Jen and Patrick}.
The flight went well and very soon we had arrived! Time sort of blended together after that.  I was having so much fun that I forgot to remember to remember what I was doing!
I do remember some things though, like; lots of laughing, going to the library barefoot, riding in the go-cart, delicious meals, late night talks and tons of fun.  I was having a blast.
All of a sudden it was THE WEDDING! I greeted everyone as they came in and gave them a program.  Then (let’s skip ahead shall we?) I was looking down the aisle and Hannah (and her Dad) were walking down.  I was in total shock. The thought that “this cannot be real” went through my mind more than once. But it was. {I still can’t believe it}
So now, Hannah’s married…sniff, sniff.  The wedding was beautiful and everything was  so perfect! I’m going to miss Hannah, but I know she’s really, really, happy… and I’m sure Jaylon is happy too : )
The plane will be landing in a few moments, so I had better put my things up.

Part III AZ Post

I was slipping, sliding, scooting and sledding my way down the “mountain” side. I was falling every which way and into everything (literally). BUT I was skiing! My heart was in my throat, and I was only on the bunny hill. Thus my day began…


As I am writing this post, it seems as though our trip to Arizona was a dream. Even the ski trip is like a vague memory (all except the bumps and bruises) (I clearly remember those).

Our last two days of “sunny” Arizona were spent in the white mountains. They were probably some of the most fun filled days of our trip. We had a fantastic time and it was a total blast!
I highly recommend that anyone who has never skied to go out and try it. I cannot wait to go again!

Here are some pictures of the fantastic time we had. Hopefully I can show you how fun it was….and you will want to go skiing, of course taking me along! : D



First, some random ski pictures (we all love those)!

Beautiful, huh?
