Goodbye Arizona!!!!!! Hello Iowa!!!!!

      Since mid-August I have been student teaching in Arizona.  My aunt and uncle so generously took me in and gave me a place to call home :) :) But....now it is time to head back to the good 'ol midwest.  I have loved my time spent in Arizona, but am happy to get back to my family/friends in Iowa and start my job search.  So, tomorrow is the big day!! My brother and mom decided to fly into AZ and drive back with me (so nice of them).  They will be arriving tonight around 8 and we'll be taking off tomorrow afternoon (plans as of right now).  Hopefully the weather is decent and we don't get caught in any snowstorms on the way back--I'm crossing my fingers.  But I'm sure we'll be fine with my amazzzzing driving skills ;) and my brothers navigation skills. :) We are gonna kick it old skool and use an atlas so......it should be fun :)
      Well before I take off I thought I should reminisce on my time spent in AZ.  Things I will miss........
