Sunshine and Lollipops!

It's official, I now live in the good old state of Arizona! I never imagined myself living here #1 because the summer is deathly hot and 2 because everything is brown. But I think I can handle it for awhile since I have some great friends and a whole lot of sun! In fact I am sitting in the sun as we speak. So I know you have all been dying to know about my new digs and my new job. So I will spend this post playing catch up.


My new house is awesome! I have two roommates, Bonnie-Jeane and Katherine. Bonnie-Jeane does finance at US Airways (I got a sweet deal on a buddy pass to NY from her) and Katherine teaches Spanish at a High School in Scottsdale. I have been so blessed to have such great and accomplished roommates! I really appreciate them. They have been so kind to me and we are already great friends.

Katherine is the blond on the left. We went dancing and stopped to get hydrated afterwards. It was a  really fun night!

Bonnie-Jeane is on my left in the blue. We hiked Camelback Mountain. I had no idea how freakin' huge Phoenix is!  The other two ladies are my good friends Kylee and Emma-Jeane (Bonnie-Jeane's cousin, hence the Jeane) They are doing their student teaching right now in math. We have a lot of laughs together! They are coming over right now so I better hurry up with this post! :)

The house!

The house we live in is Katherine's uncles house. It is located in a sketchy neighborhood, but it is really nice. It was remodeled and made to hold the youth for mutual so it is perfect for parties, which I have used to the max! We have at least 2 parties a week! 

The pool!

The Entryway has a really pretty ceiling 

The upstairs living room where all of the movie watching happens! 

The tiny TV has been put to good use! There is a bathroom and laundry room through those doors, and a  kitchenette too. 

I love the way this bathroom is set up. We have seperate sinks but share a shower and toilet. You can see the doors to them in the mirror.  It's a huge bathroom.

And then there is my room! It's huge! I have no idea what to do with the space since I din't bring much with me. So I am borrowing this gigantic bec and nice desk from my roommate. 

The bed is so big that I can sleep any direction and I still fit! That is a first for tall Leesa. 

Oh and don't forget my two walk-in closets. They are both only half filled because I seriously have no stuff!
