Yesterday I came back home from visiting my friend in Phoenix, AZ. I had a great time and wanted to share some of my trip with you. When I arrived I thought it was absolutely beautiful. The scenery was so much different than what I am used to. I saw lots of brown- the buildings, the dirt, the mountains, the rocks. Two things that definitely caught my attention was the Cactus and Palm Trees! Oh Ohio, how I wish you had these!
Besides the scenery I had a great time with my friend. I was able to attend her church and meet some of the people she tells me about. It was great. And God spoke things to me there that I needed to hear. I was also able to meet the family she Nannies for. I hear about Jake (the adorable 2 yr old) all the time and I got to meet him too. He was such a lil ladies man.
We went to the Phoenix Zoo and had a great day there- with absolutely BEAUTIFUL weather! We went shopping at a few of the malls...luv! Hahaha. And I discovered a fabulous thing there- Yogurtopia and Yogurtland- Another type of thing Ohio NEEDS! Self serve yogurt places...
The last part of my trip there consisted of a road trip to Pine Top and the Grand Canyon. We went 4 hours to Pine Top- where it ended up getting to 32 degrees and SNOWING! (Because of the elevation). Then it was 4 hours to the Grand Canyon- so worth it!! It was amazingly GORGEOUS! It was overcast that day, so I want to go back and see it when the sun is shining all around.
It went by wayyyyyy too fast, but I am so thankful for the time I was able to spend there. I met amazing people and saw beautiful things...I will never forget those days! Arizona, I will be back. I promise.
