another action packed weekend in tucson.

We just spent another fantastically busy weekend in Tucson. We had Chris' birthday to celebrate with his family, wedding stuff to take care of, Josh's football game, the U of A-Iowa game, birthday lunch for Grandpa Allen/Uncle Mike, and getting our old/new car towed/fixed. We love spending a weekend in Tucson, but it's hard trying to shove a week's worth of work into a few days. If we didn't get to see you this trip down (Sarah O! Kristin!), I'm sorry. Next time!

We did some taste testing with our caterer and finalized our menu for the wedding! It was surprisingly fun and non-stressful. The caterer was able to do everything we asked and the food was amazing. I hope you guys like our choices.  I know I'll be going back for seconds.

We also got to see Josh play basketball for his Secrist Middle School team. He's good! A true jock, now. He's had a try-out with a traveling club basketball team and he made it, so he's busting out the football and now the basketball skills. We're super proud of him. After a tough loss with the Jr. Midget Wildcats that morning, he came back with a fantastic game (like 14 points, I think!) with the basketball team, so that was good.

We also have another car! A 1973 Plymouth Duster (the car I always wanted for my very first car) that we're getting fixed and taking up to Phoenix with us. Uncle Mike and Aunt Veronica are nice enough to store it at their place while we get it fixed. Thanks, guys. You are lifesavers. We are starting to need a second car up there and we're stoked to have a car show car on our hands again. I see the fall months full of cruising and enjoying the Duster.

I never thought I'd be saying these words, but I (staying an extra day to work on wedding stuff) can't wait to get back to Phoenix and Christian tomorrow. I miss him! And my little house, believe it or not.

Still waiting on news for a promising job I applied for about a month ago. Pray, cross fingers, do a dance, whatever you have to do. I want this SOOO bad, it's ridiculous. I'll keep you updated!

Peace and Love,
Ash
