So, today the temps are topping out at about 110 degrees!! It is hotter than anything I have ever felt. Everyone here is trying to be encouraging saying, "Oh, but it's a dry heat." Ok. Let me just say, 110 degrees, people, is still 110 freaking degrees--dry or not. It's like being hit in the face with a hot blowdryer when you walk outside.
Honestly, we are not built for the heat. As Paul says, he has a nice "winter layer" built in to his body, and this heat just doesn't work for him. :) I think I have that same winter layer...but paul knows better than to agree with me on that!! :)
So, anyway, here we are, air conditioning blasting away..holed up in our apartment until it cools down. Our last two electricity bills have been almost $200!!
More reasons why we will move back up north asap :)

The Orange Juice Fight
So usually Paul and I get along pretty well. It takes a lot for us to really get "P-Oed" with each other. But a few days ago... the "it" hit the "fan". :)
Honestly, I don't even remember how it started, but when I came to, paul was storming out of the house, and a blind rage took over my body. I paced the house desperately trying to find something to destroy that would really hit him below the belt. Then genius struck. I ran to fridge grabbing the two items that would have the greatest impact--his orange juice and chocolate milk. Hahah! This will teach him to sass me! I angrily poured the contents of each down the drain--with each drop feeling better and better. I then set the empty containers outside the door- a dark omen to anyone who enters, not to mess with an angry sugar mama.
It's funny now.... I knew orange juice and chocolate milk were the way to devastate Paul the most. He laughed too, after the sting wore off... hahaha!!
That'll teach him.
ps. lucky for him, my mom is in town and will re-buy these for him. She has always liked him the best.

Updates!
Well, its been a while since we updated this thing! Oops! We are just so busy with all of our very important life things, you know how it is... :) jk, we actually forgot the password and just got this back up and running.
So far life down here in AZ has been good. It's like 150 degrees-ish now, but the pool at our place has been a life saver! Paul has been really liking school, and landed a great internship at a company down here for the summer.
I quit my nanny job, and started working as a Speech Language Therapist in a school! I LOVE it. It's weird actually using the my degree for a living. Who knew all that tuition would actually pay off?? So, at least during the school year, I am Paul's "sugar-mama." and I love to rub that in. I'll generously leave a 5-er on his pillow in the morning...just to show I still care... ;)
We are looking forward to moving back to Minneapolis next June. Paul will graduate at the beginning of next May, and I will finish school at the end of May, and then we hope to re-pack all of our belongings and make the long drive back to God's favored state. :) We can't wait!
Please continue to pray for guidance and protection as we live down here. We have a grip of stray alley cats that Paul likes to torture by launching my free weights at them off the deck. I tell him not to, but he tells me he is 'defending my honor.'
More to come!
