We had a great time on our trip to Arizona. It was my first time back I believe in a couple of years. I honestly can't remember. I have been there a couple of times but rarely saw any of our friends Phoenix or Tucson area so it was nice to get a chance this time around.
We arrived in Phoenix and Brett Major met us at the airport. He was nice enough to give us a ride to the rental car agency and from there we headed to Cody and Chloe's home. We got to their place just in time to head to Gospel Meeting. We would have made it sooner but I had a little problem... We didn't realize until we arrived in Phoenix that I didn't have any meeting clothes. I had asked Jessica if she remembered to bring a tie for my meeting clothes. She hesitated for a moment and then said "I don't think I even packed a shirt. As a matter of fact, I didn't pack any socks for either of us". To make matters worse, I somehow caught my pant leg on something at the airport and heard a rip... That's right, I tore my pants...at least it wasn't that visible to the public. I had just gotten rid of an old pair of jeans before we left on our trip and now on our week trip I had one good pair of jeans left. So, I changed into my one good pair of jeans and we took off to meeting. It was great getting to meet the workers in the mesa and were surprised at many young toddlers and babies were there. We got to talk with a lot of our old friends there and had a wonderful evening back at Cody and Chloe's home.
The following day, we left to a potluck at one of our friend's home and got to visit some of our elders when we lived in Chandler. We had a great time and it seemed like years since I had last seen them. Anyway, the following day we packed up our rental and rode down to Tucson with one of our best friends Brenda. Aunna really seems to like Brenda and enjoyed showing off her sign language. Once in Tucson, we got to have dinner with Court and Melanie nicely remodeled house. They were so kind to let us move our entire junk into their entry room so we could the rental and wait for Candy (Jessica's mom to pick us up). Aunna, Sariah, and William played really well with each other and the parents didn't have to worry over them as much. Candy came over and we were able to load all our junk and headed out to Wilcox to spend the rest of our week with family.
It was a great time and we really miss all the friends and family. It was amazing how much the kids had grown and we really look forward to getting to see them all again someday. Anyway I should end this entry before it gets too long. :)
Oops, almost forgot to mention why I have some extra time on my hands. The morning of our flight home, I got notified that I was being included in part of a company lay off. Apparently the shift I was in was being dissolved and the economy was just too soft to keep us. I guess it works out since a few days after I got home, I got really sick and I'm just finally starting to feel better. So if any one knows of any Electrical Engineering or technical jobs, please let us know! :) I'm currently going to school to learn some programming if that helps.
