Calling Arizona home since 1996

Arizona State University brought me west from Gurnee, IL.  At that time, the 101 was not in existence, Desert Ridge was only a vision and the 51 was not completed.  A lot has changed since then, but one thing that remains the same, is my love of Arizona.

Arizona allows for more enjoyment of the great outdoors.  The beauty of the Sonoran Desert is always breathtaking.  During the spring months the cacti produce flowers of exceptional color and the blooming Palo Verdes are a vision of a halo of yellow flowers.  Summer months are dormant.  Yes, the temperatures can reach triple digits that we don't care to talk about, until we reach them again.  But the beauty of Arizona allows you to travel north to Flagstaff or east to the White Mountains to escape the heat.  In case you didn't know, Arizonans have an annual pilgrimage to San Diego.  Within a 6 hour drive (no traffic), you are in SoCal.  So remember that when we hit triple digits - we do get away!

As the temperatures begin to cool, we start coming out of hibernation.  Kids are out playing in the neighborhood and we're all ready to enjoy the cooler temps.  Festivals are in full swing!
