AZ Lovin.

For those of you who don't know, Arizona has its 101st birthday last week - Valentine's day to be exact. And since then I have thought a lot about good ol' AZ and how much I miss it. I miss the sunsets. I miss the warm, and the sun, and the wedding clouds. I miss my tan. I miss sandals and sun dresses. I miss the clear blue sky. I miss palm trees, and cactuses, and rocks. I miss hot asphalt and running through the sprinklers to cool down. I miss the flat.I miss monsoons and lightning storms and always being a little bit scared the world was ending. My heart shall forever be in Arizona. Desert girl through and through. 

And I love this etsy find! [hint hint mother ;)]

State of the Union

Sorry for the twice-in-one-day posting, but 1) I'm exited about my new design, and 2) I had to post about the State of the Union.

Anyway it kind of surprised me how excited I was to watch it! Kass called me a politics nerd. And I am. I don't know why but it is so exciting to me! Every experience I have with Washington and  with government makes me want to be a part of it more and more. 

Also, I love Michelle Obama, but who doesn't? She is so classy and hip. Between her and Kate Middleton, people are seeing how modest can be trendy. 

I'm all energized now and want to help get things accomplished! But then I remind myself that the State of the Union makes all changes sound so easy and obvious, but it still is exciting.

I am a politics nerd, I have accepted it. Hey, at least I'm not a math nerd.
