Getting Ready....

I could not be having more fun!  Scott and I love it here in Arizona.  We get up early and ride our bikes in the cool morning air, we can walk or ride our bikes anywhere we need to go during the day or night, we spend hot days in the pool and nights in the hot tub.  My body has not been this active in years and it feels great.  Friday was my orientation for school and Scott was able to take off work to come with me.  It was very exciting as I walked through each line verifying info, getting my schedule and uniform...etc.  I even met and took my photo with the president of our school!  All the staff and instructors are friendly, have great attitudes and are available and willing to help anytime we need them.  

I cannot wait to start school on Monday!  I'm getting a bit nervous and hope that my brain can handle all the information that will soon be flooding into it.  I think my biggest challenge is going to be keeping my uniform clean and pressed.  We received 3 sets and they must be clean, pressed and wrinkle free everyday for class.  Clean...absolutely clean...really?  We are talking about white chef jackets...  I've never been able to keep anything white clean....good luck to me!  LOL

The New Me!!!!!

Here it is...as promised.  Drum roll please........................................................................................




It's definitely short and I definitely Love It!  And so does my hubby.   ;)





 




New Life....

I've begun a new life here in Arizona.  I have a new home, new career on the horizon, practically a new husband since he shaved his head...LOL  So I thought...why not a new me?  I felt a little adventurous and Scott and I have been riding out bikes and walking everywhere, so I think I've lost a bit more weight....  We've actually been having a blast out here.  The night life is really great during the week, but especially on Friday & Saturday nights.  There is so much to do, see, and eat around here!  I feel like I'm in paradise! =)

Okay, I promised a surprise and I will give you a surprise.  Get ready....it's going to be quite a shock....

The next post will contain the surprise..... Haha!

Loving Life.....

We are so loving life in Scottsdale, AZ!  It is so beautiful here!  Last night the hubby and I went for a 14 mile, (round trip), bike ride and it was great.  The weather was mild, only about 91 degrees outside, no humidity, and a nice cool breeze as we rode along the sidewalks.  On my left, the sun was setting a beautiful orange with a dark blue fading into a light blue sky and a view of one of our big mountains....then I looked to my right and there were white clouds spread across a baby blue sky and the background an even bigger mountain range.  It was breathtaking.  However, by the time we got home my booty felt like minced meat....so sore.  

But we still went for a 5:30 am ride this morning.  I have to say that I am so very amazed at how light it is that early in the morning.  Day breaks here just after 5am, so by 5:30 we have complete light.  All my life it's been dark at 5:30 in the morning...lol  The sun sets around 7:30pm.  I love it!  Somehow, it feels like we have more hours in the day.  We ride on a bike & walking trail out here called the Greenbelt.  It goes for miles around town....beside golf courses, housing tracks, through parks, across bridges, under the road ways....etc.  It is a great trail with beautiful views.  It feels so good to get out there and move my body and use muscles I haven't used since I was 16 years old.  Even my arms get a workout.  I feel my body getting more in shape and stronger everyday.  

I absolutely love living here.  Thank you, Heavenly Father, for making this move possible.  I give God all the glory, because without Him I would have nothing. 

 I have included a few photos I took from my phone this morning, but the iPhones have a crappy camera, so they are not that great.  I will make a point of going out with my Nikon very soon for some awesome shots.  

Also, I will have something to share with you very soon...it will be dramatic and a bit shocking, so stay tuned....
