Lunches with Teachers
We drove up to PHX to have lunch with DD#2 teacher at the Wildflower Bread Co. http://www.wildflowerbread.com/. After we ate, we went next door to Changing Hands
http://www.changinghands.com/ to read books. Yes, DD#2 has a bindis on her forhead. It was in a goody bag that her teacher gave her. I believe she read her 10 or more books. DD#1 could have been there all day as long as her teacher was there reading to her.
The next day we had lunch with DD#1 teacher at Rumbi Island Grill. http://www.rumbi.com/index.php. After lunch we went shopping through the local shops. DD#1 had fun doing her favorite thing....shopping.

Friends from Phoenix
Our friends came down from Phoenix for a visit. They came Sunday night for dinner at our house. They were suppose to swim, but it rained so they kids played Wii instead.
Monday morning, the girls and I headed over to their hotel for a swim, then to Monkey Burger http://monkeyburgerrestaurant.com/yellowbutton.html for lunch. They have some of the largest burgers around.
After lunch we headed out to Karchner Caverns for our tour at 2 pm. http://azstateparks.com/parks/kaca/index.html. Our tour was delayed due to a thunder and lightening storm. The tour guide uses a metal tram to take the guests up to the entrance of the cavern. Once the storm had passed we were able to start our tour. The guide explained the rules...the only rule that stuck out in my head was, "Don't touch anything, but the railing." The reasoning behind it is if our hands touched the walls, it would cause bacteria to grow. So, if the walls or anything was touched they would red tape it and someone would come in later to clean it later. Between my girls and the my friend's kids, the adults had a wager whose kids would touch something first. Lets just say my girls didn't touch a thing and I won.
It was a great weekend with friends!!!

The Move
I need to back up a little bit and explain how we have a pool now.
Last August, my husband took a job down in Tucson. He moved down there a week before school started for the girls. I didn't think I would be able to move all the house and get the kids in school in one week, so I stayed in Phoenix. We talked about moving at their Christmas break, but I felt it would be too hard to have everything packed and that it would too disruptive on the girls to move schools.
He lived in our 5th wheel for almost 6 months, which cut down on the cost of actually renting something bigger. He would come to PHX on the weekends or on occasion we would come down to Tucson.
He was putting everything he had into his new job, working 50-60 hours a week. Since we didn't have a family to come home to every night he could work those hours.
I was working a part-time job that turned into a full-time job. The girls were going to two different schools and I was trying to pack the house up for the move we were going to make in May. I was asking around if anyone was interested or knew of anyone interested in renting our house in PHX. I was stressing that we would be paying on our house in PHX and in Tucson.
We came to the conclusion we would be renting a house in Tucson, instead of buying. I would find houses and send him on wild goose chase to look at houses on his lunches and after work. We wanted something that we could put our 5th wheel, a pool, garage, 3 bedroom and within a very small budget. Well, in February we found it. We signed a lease and he started taking boxes down on the weekends.
In May, we rented a moving truck and got the rest of our items out of the house. It was just in time for school to get out and us to go on our vacation to San Diego. So when the girls and I went to SD, I had boxes waiting for me to unpack when I returned.
As, for our PHX house it did get rented which worked out perfect.
So, we are starting a new chapter of our lives. New areas to explore, new friends, new schools, and new experiences.
