Life is good in Arizona

April 2008~ Scottsdale Culinary Arts Institute

I planned a school field trip to this Culinary Institute and took Chris with me. The food was wonderful!!

Spring 2008~ Trying to grown a garden in AZ

Well, all I have to say it the small strawberry is from my garden and as big as Rebecca's pinky nail :(

April 2008~ Grand Canyon, Meteor Crater and Maryland

The AZ Meteor Crater

The winds were EXTREMELY HARD.
I am shocked these photos turned out. I had my camera phone and it was quite sunny and soooooooo windy! This hole is 500 ft deep! Used to be 700 ft deep! AMAZING!http://www.meteorcrater.com/index.php

Washington Monument MD http://www.wam.umd.edu/~jlehnert/welcome.html

The
MD
Hard
Rock

The Grand Canyon- about 40 degree out!!

Inner Harbour MD

World Trade Center MD

I recently went to Flagstaff, AZ for work for 6 days. It actually snowed there one day. So glad I brought my bathing suit for the pool and sandles. It was in the 80s in Gilbert that day. In my spare time I drove to the Grand Canyon and another day to the Meteor Crater.

Two weeks later I was off Baltimore, MD for more than half a week. I got to dine and meet many of our MD employees. We had some G O O D F O O D! I should have taken photos of the lobster, steak, salmon, crab cakes, etc!!

I did some sight seeing here too. The MD Washington Monument (About 270 steps to the top but an awesome view), the first Catholic cathedral in the US, the Methodist church (Built where Francis Keys died), the MD World trade center and all over the Inner Harbor (And of course to he Hard Rock cafe- even though I HAVE been to this one before). When I go back to Baltimore in July, I plan to see and do more.

Royle and the kids are happy that I am home. Glad that they all still like me :)

February 14, 2008~ Valentine's Day

My Royle sweetheart bought surprise tickets to see Heart in concert! We had a great time! I love him sooooooooooo much!!!!

December 13, 2007~ Our Wedding!

Royle and I were married December 13, 2007 in Mesa, AZ. It was an absolutely beautiful day! (It had been pouring for weeks before hand). We had some family and a few close friends come to our wedding. We had a wonderful day and are very happy together! :)
