We have arrived!!!

Ok so obviously many of you know we arrived in Arizona a couple weeks ago but we have finally got around to finishing our blog on our road trip, we can'tleave people out because the last couple days were just as amazing as the rest of the trip.

We had a wonderful evening in New Orleans and getting to catch up with David's cousin Ian and his wife Brooke have just closed on their first home, congratulations guys!! We were then off to
Austin, TX to have a quiet evening to ourselves. Despite being out of town good friends of my family offered their home to us for the night which was so gracious of them. We enjoyed some quiet family time and collected ourselves before the last leg of our trip while playing some really intense arcade basketball.

Which brought us to El Paso, TX. Right around the corner from all the craziness happening in Juarez, Mexico we visited good friends of ours Vivian and Bodie. Vivian is a good friend of mine from my days in Alaska and is one of those people you have a relationship w
ith that is always fun and amazing even if you don't talk for a number of months at a time. She as always was an amazing host, showing us around the area, feeding us good food and drink, and just having a wonderful time. We were lucky to spend two nights with these guys before we moved on to Arizona and they moved on to Kentucky which they are on their way right now.

And then our last leg from El Paso to Phoenix, AZ was so crazy. The whole day was surreal, knowing our home for the next three years was just around the corner and all the planning and organizing for the last few months has almost come to an end.

We spent our first week in Phoenix with a good friend of my parents, Greg, who was a gracious hosting taking us in with a new baby and a dog, along with my parents who came to help usget settled. We enjoyed his company, his home and his pool while we tried to find our own home, which happened very quickly thankfully.
