We spent two wonderful weeks in Arizona. Even after living 3 years in Texas, the Valley of the Sun still holds our hearts. As we drove through the cactus, we felt like we were coming home. We spent time with so many treasured friends, catching up on their lives and filling them in on our plans to move to Central America. Our friends are catching the vision for God's work in Honduras, and many are joining us as partners in prayer. Others feel God leading them to join the team with financial gifts, and others plan to encourage us by visiting us. In Phoenix, we stayed 4 days with our friends Mike and Cristina and then we spent a week at Mark's parent's vacation home. My sister, Tonya, and her 7 month daughter, flew in from Montana to be with us for a few memorable days. We were also able to go to Grace Bible Church in Tempe, the church that we helped plant 10 years ago. Not only did we get to hang with those who are near and dear to our heart, we also ate food that is near and dear to our stomachs. We ate at all our old favorites. (And in 9 years of Phoenix living, you collect a lot of favorites.) To name a few, we managed to feast at Nello's Pizza, T.C. Eggingtons, Honey Bears BBQ and Arriba Mexican Grill. Mmmm. Mark chose to combat all of these calories by riding his bike on many of his favorite routes through the desert.

Sunny Arizona

Astros Game
We wanted to go to a professional baseball game. So we went with some friends to see the Astros. As we looked for our seats, we kept climbing, climbing and climbing. Apparently we had purchased seats in the very top row of Minute Maid Park. Wow, it's hard to carry a 30 lb. kid up all those steps.
Giddy Up!!!
One of Mark's co-workers at Voss Lighting invited us out to his acreage so that Reagan could ride their horse. When we arrived, Larry was wearing a cowboy hat, so Reagan instantly called him "Cowboy." Reagan fed the horsie a few carrots and even spent a few tentative seconds sitting atop the massive horse. Thanks for a wonderful morning, Larry and Debbie.
Vroooom
The kind owner of this motorcycle let Reagan check out his machine for a bit. Pretty exciting for a 2 yr. old who points out every motorcycle that he sees or hears.
