Our Big Move!

It has been a VERY eventful last few weeks. We packed up and drove from Atlanta to Phoenix! We broke up the drive to 3 days, and stopped in Azle, Texas and Tucson. Luckily we have friends in both of those places, so we didn't have to worry about icky motels off the freeway. (Thank you to the Smith and Stears families!!). All of our things were in a storage unit in Rexburg, so I stayed with family friends in Mesa (Thank you Christopherson family!!) while Erik flew to Idaho, packed up a Uhaul, and drove back to Phoenix (my husband is amazing). He got back the during my orientation for PT school and we hastily moved in. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures because I was so busy with all the chaos.

With all that said, we are very excited to be here. We live about 10 minutes from downtown Phoenix and can't wait to explore the area. Fortunately, almost everyone in my PT class grew up around Phoenix so they have been sharing some awesome tips with us. We went on a triple date with some of our new friends to an ice cream place called Churn. It was so cute and very yummy!

You can't tell from the picture, but there was a super long line to get in.

 This place was seriously SO cute. The staff was ridiculously nice as well.

 Churn is attached to a restaurant called The Windsor, which looked really cool. It is on our list of places to eat. This wall attaches the two.

Seeing this wall made me SO happy. We hardly know anyone in Phoenix and have already felt very welcome. We are looking forward to the friends we will make, places we will see, and the things we will learn.

Summer Fun

We have had a blast in Atlanta this summer! Most of Erik's time off was spent going out to dinner. Almost every place we have tried has been amazing. I have not done the best job of documenting our travels, but here's a little peek into our summer.

Outside of Flip Burger. 

Flip Burger was amazing! They had tons of unique and delicious burgers. My favorite part was probably the ambiance. It was very chic and modern, I loved it. 

A beyond delicious nutella milkshake. I could have had 3!

This is at the Tijuana Garage (obviously).

It looks a bit more ghetto than it actually is. Tijuana Garage is a hidden gem right outside of the city. It felt like we took a little trip to Mexico. There were lots of pretty fountains and cool trees. We waited extra long to sit outside, and it was totally worth it. 

The photobomber in the background made it his mission to make an appearance in every photo I took! I was getting so annoyed with him but I have to laugh at this picture. 

They also had a live band playing, and they did some awesome covers.

Aside from touring the city and trying new places, the best part of the summer was the people we shared it with! It was so fun making new friends and bonding with old ones. I am really going to miss everyone that we have spent time with in Atlanta.
