I have had a few friendly reminders that I have been lagging behind in my blog posts. Well, its not without good reason. In that time I have moved again. From one temporary home to my mom's. We packed up our clothes and some toys and moved houses again. We are continuing our house hunt- praying that something happens soon.
After that we headed out a on a mini-vacation. I got two lovely days in Arizona alone with my husband. It was wonderful. It rained the first morning and I had a little bit of a freak out on the weather but it turned out beautiful and we had a great time.
I barely used my camera.
We decided since the weather wasn't great for laying by the pool we would take a hike up Camelback Mountain. Casey's dad said it shouldn't be a problem and that it was a nice hike. We set out at about 11am after a detour (we were talking, I was navigating, and I got distracted, it cost us an extra forty minutes in drive time). With nothing in my stomach, except one cup of coffee, no water bottles, and my bulky camera bag because I was afraid it might start raining on us- we head out on our "hike".
It was grueling to say the least. It was more of a mountain climb than a hike and about 3/4 of the way to the top I just couldn't do it. Mostly I was afraid of feeling sick for the rest of the day. So we turned back.
We decided to try again the next day. This time full stomachs, water bottles in hand, no camera, no phones. And we made it...barely. It was hard. Two lizards ran out of some rocks when I put my hand on one to climb up. Nothing grosses me out more than reptiles.
It was an adventure. And fun. And the only pictures I have of the trip....
