I've been going through and organizing my pictures this week. I've noticed a few things; one, my skill has definitely improved, two, I have about a million (not even exaggerating) photos of little A, and three, I'm a little homesick. Homesick for Arizona. I know, call me crazy! Don't I know it's like 120 degrees there right now?! Yes, I know. But Arizona is where it all started. It's my little family's first home. It's where Alex was born. I made some awesome friends. And I learned so much while I was there. I learned how to be a wife, a mother, a friend. I discovered my skill and love for photography. As for the heat, I really didn't hate it. I loved that I could go swimming in December. Shop for Christmas presents in shorts and sandals. Be tan ALL YEAR ROUND. When we first moved to Arizona, I really didn't love the landscape. Cacti are kind of boring. Everything is brown. Mountains? They call those tiny bumps in the sand mountains? But the longer I lived there, the more I noticed the little things.
How everything blooms every few months.
Seriously this tree looked different every other week.
I could find even the smallest things beautiful. Here in Texas I would not find this beautiful, I would spray it with the strongest ant killer I could find! Texas ants are NOT nice..
The lightning always seemed to be perfect.
Seriously, perfect.
And the sunsets? To die for! Every. Single. Night.
I haven't had the chance to explore a ton in Texas yet. But when I do, I hope I will love it as much as I learned to love Arizona.
