Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Arizona!

In the first week of March we went to Arizona to visit some best friends. We had a blast! First, we got to drive around in Scott's mom's Jeep. We stopped at some interesting places and were surrounded by beautiful Arizona mountains and cacti. The next day we went to a Renaissance festival and spent the whole day watching skits and shows and eating greasy food. :) Here are some pics and I'll add more soon!

One of the fun places we stopped was this old western movie set! It had a barn full of old relics, a church, an outhouse, a blacksmith, a stagecoach, and lots of other random um... things.



Ah, the beauty of Arizona landscape... and a handsome man to go with it. He makes all my pictures look better. :) I couldn't believe how green everything was! We picked a good time to go.
After driving around for a while, we went to a restaurant at Tortilla Flat (called Tortilla Flat Restaurant. Very original ;). The walls are COVERED in dollar bills!

It all started when business owners would leave their tip with a business card on the wall. People started just leaving their tips, and then it turned into people leaving a dollar bill with their name on it. There was other currency too--definitely something fun to look at while you're waiting for a table.
And now for the Renaissance festival! Sorry, I only have one pic now. I'll put up more soon!

John with his delicious turkey leg. And, yes, those are clip-on shades--ha! I love my man. :)
