And We've Landed.

So, this is what happened.

We lived in Arizona for like, 43 years. And it was sometimes really fun, delicious, and smelled like blooming citrus flowers....but then other times it was hot, dry, and stupid.

So we were like, "Let's get out of here, yo".

Then Cory took this magnificent photo whose perspective, I realized, could only be taken by lying in the middle of a busy desert highway. Hey, but seriously Cory, DON'T EVER LAY IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY AGAIN.





And a "via con dios y hasta luego to you" land of bone dust.


Don't cry guy! Unless you're just resting your face. Or laughing jovially? Maybe it's too bright out here? Listen. You need to stop. Clearly you're upsetting your wife.



This is the literal bridge that spans Arizona and Utah. It is also the figurative bridge that I shall burn just as soon as we cross over. Because I'm really good at burning bridges. But not with you. Of course I don't mean you.



You can slow my vehicle, speed limit signs, but you cannot slow the enthusiasm in my heart.


Hello Utah. What's this? Green grass and trees? Well bless your heart.



Calvin loves it so much here.


And I love it so much that Calvin loves it so much here.










We're never leaving. Our ashes shallst be scattered in the mountain pines and on the backs of soaring eagles.

Yahoo! The Mother Land has brought you home. ...jealous! Anyhow, that means that at least once in a while our paths can cross, considering that I make that drive up to the promised land about 437 times a year.

Aw Jami!
Please don't encourage his bad behavior. If he dies, Calvin and I will have to come live in your fancy basement. So just think about that.
