Phoenix!

Wow, I haven't updated in like 3 months... but it's been a LONG and CRAZY three months! First off, most of you (all 5 who read this... if you still do lol) know a lot, but for those who don't, here's the lowdown.

We moved to Phoenix May 1st! It was sad to leave Hawaii behind. Bittersweet actually. Sad to leave our new friends and the beautiful beaches, but incredibly exciting to be moving to a new place, AWAY from the Army! Hooray for no more active duty! So far, Phoenix has been pretty incredible I must say. Our new apartment is bigger, the rent is cheaper, the complex is nicer and it's so close to amazing restaurants and shopping and entertainment!

We have been having fun actually coordinating our apt this time! Last time we had no space for any furniture but a bed and couch/tv/tv stand kind of set up, but this time we have bookcases and a wine bar and an actual... wait for it... KITCHEN TABLE!!! I honestly think that's my favorite thing right now is being able to eat at a real table instead of on the couch hunched over the coffee table every night... seems like not such a big deal bc eating on the couch is fun... just not every night because you HAVE to!

Fiance and I went out and got drapes for our bedroom to match our bedding and even coordinated them with our new shower curtain too, so as soon as we get those hung up this weekend, we'll really be styling! Who knew being so domestic could be so fun?

Speaking of Fiance, he got an amazing job here that he absolutely LOVES and has taken to like a fish in water. I am so happy for him that he found something he's really good at and enjoys going to every day. I know it's only been a month, but I have such high hopes for him in this position :)

As for me, it's been great being back on the mainland! I have started singing again (THANK GOODNESS) and have found a great teacher at ASU. I have my 2nd lesson this evening and I am so excited. It feels good to get back to something so important. It's sad I didn't have an outlet for 2 years, but I am so happy I have it back now.

As for the wedding, we're looking at churches when fiance comes home for the weekend when I'm in Cincy in August, so hopefully we'll start planning then. I'm in no rush though, there's plenty of things that are keeping my attention right now! But, more on that to come in August I'm sure ;) Hope all of you are doing well, readers, and I hope to be writing more as things settle down here in the valley! Adios for now!
