The time zone for my blog is Arizona, because Arizona is home. Growing up, I've lived all over the world and none of the places I was fortunate enough to live ever really felt home. When my wife and I packed up and said goodbye to college and drove all the way across the US to AZ, we were doing something radical and what a great thing it turned out to be. I had never been out to the deserts of the US and even though I didn't like them when I was there, I do now. I think it was the situations surrounding our change in location that made me have a permanent case of homesickness (or as much of a home as I had ever had) and it was because of this that I failed to see just how awesome Arizona is.
No more. I realize the greatness of such a place and would love to live there, given the opportunity. The city is big enough, everything you need is there, the people are nice but not so nice you pause to question motives, family and friends are there and it will always be the place that my wife and I first attempted to make our home. College was great, but we did not have our own place, and college is such a temporary lifestyle anyway. When we lived in AZ we didn't know how long we were going to be there so we tried to make the most out of it.
To this day some of my best memories come from there.

I remember you being adamant about how you didn't want to live anywhere without trees when you left the apartment in Pensacola.
I'm glad to see that you ended up really liking it out there.
Love the site Russ. Looks like the color of some funky guitar. :)
