A weekend in Arizona

Jordan and I drove to AZ a few weekends ago for our friend's wedding. It was sooooo nice to be HOME and to sleep in our own bed! I could have slept all weekend! I miss our house and our ward and our friends in AZ. But less than 2 months and we'll be back :) I'm looking forward to that!
Well, we got into Gilbert around 3pm... just in time to walk around the SanTan Mall a little bit before Jordan had to leave for his rehearsal in Mesa. He was a groomsman in the wedding, a very handsome one, if I might add :) I stayed around the Mall and then went home and put away the tubs of stuff I brought home from CA... And just sat on the couch for a while, in the silence. It was really nice actually. Then I reallyyy had to go to the bathroom and realized -Oh No! I had the water turned off before we left for the summer.... So I had to drive down to the store and use theirs! Also, my car's air conditioning went out just before we left for the summer, which is why we left it in AZ until we got back from CA to fix it, but I forgot about that and I had to drive all weekend without AC!! And back to my no water situation from earlier... well Jordan and I had to shower at the LA Fitness down the road. It was kind of a hassle but I'm glad we still had our gym memberships or else we would have been a stinky couple, spoiling a wedding with our stench!
The wedding was on Friday, and it was great! I'm sooo happy for them :) I've got a few pictures below. But my day did not start off too well! First, had to lug all my stuff over and shower at LA Fitness... then I decided I'd bring home lunch for Jordan and I before he had to leave to get ready for the wedding. Burger King is right down the road so I stopped quick to grab some food... while in the drive thru, I noticed something fall on the floorboard and realized it was one of my earrings. The particular earrings I'm talking about are the pair that Jordan bought be right before we got married. They're my favorite pair of earrings and I wear them everyday. They have my birthstone too. Anywho, I find the earring, but the back of it is nowhere to be found. I'm looking down, trying to find it and BAM!!!!!!! My heart stopped. I looked up... and I had hit the car in front of me in the drive thru while he was ordering his food!!!! I totally thought I had my foot on the break the whole time I was looking for my earring... but I guess it wasn't and my car kept creeping up, closer and closer to the car in front of me. OH MAN! I felt horrible. Then I saw the owner of the car look at me through his side mirror like he wanted to kill me. He looked like one of those guys who baby his car. It was a clean, shiny, and new looking Honda Civic. Immediately I apologized and told him I wasn't paying attention and just so so sorry. I think I freaked him out how apologetic I was being... He checked out the damage, or lack there of (thank goodness), and looked at me and said, "It's good! We're good... Nothing happened, don't even worry about it." I was very grateful that no damage occurred and he was so nice about it. I still can't believe I did that.




The Happy Couple! Israel and Vanessa :)


And by the way... I found the back of my earring in the shower at the gym Sunday!!! I was sooo relieved! :) :)
