Quick Post

A blog worthy picture (taken by Jon).... This is the moth that was outside our neighbors apartment this afternoon (directly across from our door). Welcome to Arizona....land of big bugs!

Monsoon Season

Hi all. Well this weeks big news is not what you'd think....it was not a large 4th of July bash with loads of patriotism but rather the begining of the monsoon. While this may not mean much to all of you let me tell you it does to us. After almost 2months of no rain, fog, or even cloud cover it finally rained. This took the temperature outside down from 112deg F to 92 (enough to make new locals like us want to dance outside while wearing bathing suits). According to those in 'the know' it will now rain almost every day for ~3 weeks and will then return to sunny and hot every day. I put up a little picture there for you to all enjoy the rain too.

Updating...

Hello Everybody,

I'm finally updating so let me give you the basic rundown on how things are here in AZ. This morning at 8am it was 85 deg F, this afternoon at 2pm it was 109 deg F....by 4pm it was 113F, temperature in my office 70deg F, nuf said.

SO above this (since I can't get them to move down) is some birthday pics. One of me and my grandmother talking about who knows what and the other of some beautiful flowers sent to me at work by my parents. I had hopes to put up some pictures of my office but I keep forgetting to bring a camera to work.

In general things are good. Some days I enjoy my job and some days...I don't. I'm getting to know most of the staff but still 5weeks later I met someone today for the first time. Someone from Billing who said "great to finally meet you" keep in mind I have not heard of this person. BUT he feels like we are close friends since he sees all the billing sheets (one for each patient) with my name on them.

Anyway I'm trying to 'stay cool' and will also try to post again soon with other pictures.
