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!

love the hike. Love the thought that it would be warmer in the mountains (I would totally think the same way). Love the car. Love that you guys got cold in AZ. Love You!
My favorite part of this whole post was seeing that you still use the "Ü" (whatever it's called) as a smiley face! I don't know how to type those on macs, so I had to copy and paste it from your blog post.
The snowy weather (ahem... 69 degree weather) sounds amazing. I think I may need to come for a visit while I've got some down time. Happy new year Jilly!
You should have run all the way up the mountain and then I'm sure you would have gotten warm. But at least you weren't boiling hot and you know you would have been if you had taken that same hike in August.
So fun!! Love the pics
Fun to see you back. The hike looks great. I can't remember the last time I've done that. I wish I would have had a chance to see you when you were here.
