Arizona.

When I first moved to Arizona, I couldn't understand why "those people" there were so obsessed with that place.  They'd always be like, "oh but we have a lake!" and "the landscape is so beautiful!" and "the weather is so nice!!"  I thought they were all loco because when I looked outside my window I saw a lot of cacti, dirt, and rocks.  The only beauty I could ever really see was sometimes there are really pretty sunsets.  Sometimes.  Plus it was always scorching hot and I missed the simple things in life like trees and a lawn.

I'm all dressed and ready go on a run, but I decided I'd rather not be outside in the freezing cold.  Instead, I cranked the heater up and found pictures of things I miss most about Arizona:

Pool sessions any time of day!

Warm, sunny weather <3

5am Canal running

Falling during 5am Canal running (ok I don't really miss that haha)

Sunrises

Things that only the Southwest can offer (shudder!)

Bicycle weather

Awesome temperatures (just makes for a nice, mild winter)

Bruce.

The best Boba smoothies in the world.

Being able to sleep/snuggle with Boston!!!

Can we PLEASE go home !?!

Now that I'm gone, I miss what I can't have.

I'll probably be back sooner than I think.  Yeah.  I'm one of "those people."
