I Survived!

A treacherous hike it was! Treacherous INDEED! Last weekend Brian and I went with our friends John and Catherine to hike this unbelievably difficult mountain. ELEVEN Miles we tromped (Or trudged in Brian's case) through the foresty wonders. Chats about Bears, Deer, and Chupacabra came up often. Here are some of the pictures!
Almost there. View is awesome.

And then the Cactus said, "Screw you desert!"


Don't. Fall.

Flowers in a rock.

Just too pretty!

So green!

Rooted Tree?


Another strange tree.

But.... but.... The trail goes UP.

There's the top.

Mini waterfall.

Surprise Roses



Friday Brian surprised me with roses and a pasta dinner when I got home. Did I mention I have the best man EVER? If you didn't catch that, I do!

Apartment Search Is Over!

The search is over! Brian and I went apartment hunting last weekend, which ended up being a lot more fun than I thought it would be. We learned a lot about each other and met some very interesting and pleasant people in the apartment communities in Tucson. So far we've narrowed it down to two apartment complexes. One I think I favor more than the other, only because the guy that showed us around was incredibly fun and not only told us what he loves about the complex but told us about some of his favorite tenants, including a 100 year old lady that lives there with a "Fabulous" garden (And ohhh is it fabulous!) that the complex allows to be placed outside in front of her apartment. (I knew I should have taken a picture!) The other apartment was just as friendly as well as being a gated complex, but about $200 cheaper! Can you guess which one we'll end up in?

Brian and I also made a trip to the park in central Tucson. AMAZING! They have waterfalls and a rose garden and a lake! I think I know where I'll be spending most of my time while in Tucson. <Enter happy face here.>

Is that a Crane? It was HUGE!
