Phoenix, You'll Always Be Mine

I spent 5 days this week in Phoenix, Arizona where I grew up and lived for 20 years until I left on my mission. Going in the middle of July was.....smart? It was hot.....really hot, but I enjoyed it. I hadn't had a Phoenix summer in 4 years, with the mission, selling pest control, school, etc. I will tell you though, 5 days was plenty. I sweat enough for 4 more summers away.

Seeing my family was great. It's always nice to see them and to feel of their love in person instead of over the phone or Skype.

Here are some pics from the trip:

The Phoenix Temple is near completion and should open in October or November.

Brennan, Grandpa, and I

Sarah, Brianna, Veronica, and I. Basically my second family. Growing up with them, there was never a dull moment and everyday was an adventure. Brianna just recently graduated from college and I couldn't be happier for her! Her and I have been best friends for 10 years now, and I don't doubt that we will be best friends for many, many years to come.

Family favorite :) finally got some real Mexican food! Haha

These are just some pics from the drive. Edited of course. What pics don't I edit anymore?

The trip was great. The friends and family were even better.
