Where is the year going?

These two pictures are of a storm that is slowly making its way into the valley. As I was driving home last night, I had to take a picture of the clouds rolling in. It is amazing how much moisture Arizona gets. When we moved, we thought it would always be sunny, but we have had quite a bit of moisture. It rained all last night, and the whole desert is green. It is a beautiful time of year right now, and we are loving the green. The locals keep telling us to just wait for summer...all the green turns to brown, and it gets HOT! Bet we will be glad we have air conditioning when summer gets here.

Here are a few of the nice things Ted and my mom gave me for Valentine's. I gave Ted a little Teddy bear that says "I Love You", but I think Ted out did me with the tulips, roses, Sparkling Cider, Cupcakes (which I shared with everyone at work), and balloons. Those balloons are huge! Especially the one that says "Happy Valentine's day"! It is as big as I am, and they are still floating around our house. Gotta love it!

As I came to check my blog, I couldn't believe that today is the last day of February. It feels like time is ticking away much faster than it did when I was a kid and had to sit in class all day. Maybe the fact that I watched the clock through class would help explain why my days used to drag by. Nonetheless, time is passing much too quickly, and I feel like my days are hours, and my hours are minutes, and my minutes are seconds. Just like today, it is already afternoon, and I feel like the day has barely begun. Life must speed up as we get older.

Well, on another note, life in Arizona is going really well. Ted and I had a wonderful date night on the night before Valentine's Day. We went to this little hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Morriston (about 5 miles North of where we live), and had an amazing dinner. The meat is smoked in an outdoor smokehouse, and it felt like we had went back in time. The name of the restaurant/bar is, Western Trails Ranch. It reminds me of Bar J Wranglers in Jackson, except without all the tourists. The owner went around and talked to everyone, and they were super nice. We will definitely eat there again. And, the rest of the month has been great. All we do is, eat, sleep, work, and drive. It is a simple, but crazy life. I found a new route to work, and love it, so that is exciting. Other than that, our life is great! We are coming to Idaho this next weekend for Adam and Morgan's baby blessing, so we are excited about that. It will be good to get away for a couple days. Well, hope all is well for everyone else! Sorry my life is so boring. Well, it really is eventful at work, but nobody wants to hear about work drama, so I will skip that part! :)
