The tales of August

It's been awhile since I've written a quality blog. 

August was so much fun! We found a house the beginning of the month and felt really great about it. So, we decided to go for it. YES WE BOUGHT A HOUSE. 

Evan's parents came to visit us here in Tucson. It was so fun to have them there to visit. 

We visited Tombstone, Arizona and rode an old time stage coach. If you know anything about Tombstone it is an old western town. Yes people still live there, and yes everything is pretty much original there. It's where the famous shoot out took place at the OK Corral with Wyatt Eyurp and Doc Holiday. 

We rode bikes around the River Walk and discovered a really popular bat cave. Hundreds of thousands of bats dwell in the nearby overpass bridge. Since it was something we hadn't seen we walked down there multiple evenings to watch them fly out of the bridge as the sun went down. 

August is Monsoon season. Intense thunder/lightening and rain storms EVERYDAY. It kept the summer heat manageable. It was really nice actually. 

In Phoenix we visited Evans Cousins, and it was my first time ever meeting them. How fun! 

We went to Cafe Rio, because we NEVER pass up an opportunity to go there. We ate at Rudy's BBQ. Pretty good if you like southern BBQ, but I felt like I was filled with food for the rest of the week. 

          

It was so much fun having them here.

Now we are preparing to move into our new house, but first things first, my mom and I will be driving a giant UHAUL down from SLC to pick up all of our furniture that is in storage. Me driving a large truck is probably scary.  Evan is on his Internal Medicine rotation that keeps him at the hospital for long hours. Good news though, he is definitely ahead of the game considering his experiences in New York. To add on to the craziness, I should be starting work soon- so my goal is to get all moved in and settled before I start. 

My search for a job is coming to an end, you have no idea how great it is to see the light at the end of the tunnel. 

I've been doing some great DIY projects that have turned out pretty good. I'll post the results soon. 

Our house closes tomorrow! We sign, record, get the keys and then we can start moving, decorating and making it ours :) 

Thanks for reading.
