So, uh, we don't live in T Town anymore.

Just as April came upon us, we stowed a few of our belongings into a big ol' truck and caravanned 1800 miles to Tuscon, AZ. I was behind the wheel of my nifty (new) little Mazda :)

Just before leaving Tonasket city limits for the last time, we stopped off at Roosters Espresso and said our goodbyes to the loyal baristas who'd always been there for our caffeine fix. Then it was four straight days on the road.

In case you couldn't guess, the primary difference between Arizona and the pacific northwest is the weather. Luckily, we weren't quite as unfortunate in Eastern WA, weather-wise. Still, seventy-degree winters? I think yes.

I started at Catalina Foothills High- or Catfoot, to its occupants- a week after we arrived, met with a puzzled group of counselors who wondered why on earth a student would start at a new school three weeks before summer vacation. In that three-week period I took up Bari Sax and decided to join band; and also experienced my first 'senior prank day'. Apparently the seniors of Catfoot take a liking to throwing food in various states of ripeness.

Sky served as my travel buddy, and helped us unpack and settle in. A couple weeks later Levi & Kassy decided to have their own sojourn to the Rainey Villa (or so-called, according to our Wifi)

So that's pretty much been life, lately. I'm happy here, and a sun-kissed complexion greets me every morning. I miss Washington for its greenery, but safe to say I'm more than content to live where the umbrellas stay away. Nanner and Shelby are coming to see me over summer.
