Flagstaff!!!

We're in Flagstaff this weekend, and it is absolutely gorgeous! Colleen and I left on Thursday right after work, got everything packed in the Jeep and we were on the road by 7:20 pm headed for our old college stomping grounds. It was kind of funny though because Wyndham told us their office closes at 9 pm so we were speeding trying to get up there by 9 pm. We were both questioning it a little since these are "time-share" units. So we called them back and they told us if you show up after 9 pm...which we did 9:10 pm...that they have a key drop box and to just pick it up there and to call a number from a phone booth right next to the key box. It was kind of crazy, but cool. We didn't have to go through all of that mumbo jumbo that comes with checking in at 9 o'clock at night.

After we dropped everything off in our very awesome unit, we headed off to go roam around Flagstaff, just to see what has changed. Flagstaff haaaas changed, but also hasn't if you understand what I mean. It has in the sense that this business has gone under, or that one is new, or that one moved from the west side of town to the east side of town. But aside from that, it's pretty much the same. The people look the same, the traffic is the same, the trees, the layout everything, but it certainly is a sight for sore eyes. It is very nostalgic coming back to your Alma Mater after a couple of years. Colleen and I have both said how much we feel at home here, there's just something special about this place.

So when we came back after driving around Flagstaff, we came back on Country Club Drive and I turned to Colleen and told her I think Adam's old condo is very close to the unit we're staying at. Well it took last night (Friday) when we went on a walk to realize that we were about 5 doors down (I know if it had only been 3 lol) from Adam's place here in Flagstaff...small world!

Yesterday (Friday) was a lot of fun. We slept in, then we drove around Flagstaff. We got Pita Pit, of course right?! And then we went to go see a movie...not New Moon...yeesh do you think we're crazy standing in a line that wraps around the entire Harkins building!!! Oh yeah Flagstaff only has one Movie Theater in town now! Anyways, we went to go see Blind Side. GO SEE IT! Amazing movie, and very emotional. I really think it's Sandra Bullock's best movie and at the end when they show the photos of the real people, they actually did a great job matching everyone and made them look like their real life counter part, except SJ. Oh well it was a great movie and you should go see it, forget New Moon.

One other trip down memory lane Colleen and I did was do a Starbucks run, get some warm drinks and head up to Snow Bowl. We would do this so much in college, it was our romantic thing we would do. So we headed up there and just chatted and walked around and looked at the west valley from Snow Bowl and soaked it all in. It's so quiet up there and so serene. It makes you appreciate all that God has given us. Well we're off for more so we'll bring you back up to speed at the end of the vacation.
