Holy Moly

Has it really been since the beginning of October since I posted?! No wonder I got ridiculed and received a stern talking to when I was home for Christmas! Ü

But it is a new year and I have a bit of time this evening- heres to a better blogging year!

So did you know that it snowed here in AZ? Unfortunately, I was at work and missed it, but according to my neighbors it was coming down! (Arizona style). Even though I missed the snow I sure didn't miss the freeze! It was cold. Now I bet you are thinking that I'm an Arizona wimp and it got down to maybe 69. And even though I would agree that I have become a little bit on the wimpy side, however I think you all would have been shaking in your boots because one night it got to 20 degrees! IN ARIZONA!!!

Cold.

Whats a better way to beat the cold then to go on a hike right?! So we set off to Peralta and it was gorgeous.
The rock formations were breathtaking,






And after about 2 miles we finally made it to the top -- we were so proud!





I kept telling them that it would be warmer once we got to the top because we were closer to the sun (Im a genius huh! )
but it was freezing!
I mean- there was ICE!











So I decided to do some rock lifting to help warm up my blood!


Thats one finger doing all the lifting! :)


The best part of the day was driving around in my friend's rental car-
Red Mustang Convertible
with the top down


I mean what makes you more awesome than driving on the freeway with the top down when it was only 51 degrees?!
Im sure all the other drivers were jealous as they passed us in their warm and cozy cars.
It was cold
And windy
(This was my wind blown Justin Bieber look! I might keep the comb over look! :) )

But it was a GREAT way to begin the new year!
