reasons to love arizona

For whatever reason, Phoenix made it onto my nice list this week.  See below.

1.  There are more turtledoves than pigeons
2.  I save money on umbrellas
3.  Hobby Lobby is 5 minutes from Seth's house, in the Target Plaza
4.  I get to call myself a Phoenician, which makes me sound important
5.  Coke freestyle

6.  I can wear tank tops and shorts at the same time and not feel cold
7.  The look of joy on Seth's face when we pull up to Firehouse Subs
8.  Geckos
9.  The friendliest cashiers and Walmart greeters you'll ever meet
10.  Bougainvilleas

They are EVERYWHERE.
The grass in the background is not.

11.  A few Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist teach here
12.  There's an adoration chapel 10 minutes from Seth's house and 2 minutes from mine
