What I Did There

I went to Arizona this weekend. I will be completely honest. I have never had a favorable impression of the state of Arizona. This is how the thought process went in my head:

"Arizona = hot, brown, cacti." End of thought process.

But do you know what?!

There are trees that produce citrus fruit like tangelos, oranges, pomegranates, and kumquats . . . yes I just said kumquats! AND AND AND get this . . .

It snows there. SNOW . . . in Arizona. I used to think that I didn't live a sheltered life, but I am beginning to believe I am mistaken. Sure, I've been to Africa, England, Scotland, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Mexico, and Liechtenstein. But somewhere amidst all this international globe trotting I missed the memo that it snows in Arizona. Go figure. There are also mountains which I did not know about. But let's be honest here . . . the mountains did not quite have the same shock factor as the snow for me.

Oh, so back to the point of the post title.

What I did there:

I met the Torres family. And they are awesome. Just saying!

I went to a bridal shower.

I went to a bachelorette party.

I went to a wedding.

I did not catch a bouquet. Despite the fact that I was (1) supposed to and (2) in my I'm going to catch this or die trying stance.

I got really wet. I also clung to a tree for dear life to avoid getting completely soaked. If only there were pictures I might be inclined to explain this one further. Or maybe if someone asks nicely I'll consider it . . . maybe.

I discovered Jerome.

I whipped my hair back and forth!
