Welcome to Scottsdale, Arizona

Our new home!
Since I've been here I found out some pretty cool things about this place

1. well of course... IT'S HOT! 
The average temperature for June 103, July 105, Aug 103 
(soo... pretty much we chose the worst time to come!)
BUT average temperature for 
Oct 89, Nov 78, Dec 68, Jan 69, Feb 73, March 78
SO WORTH IT

2. Pinnacle Peak
We are blessed to have this wonderful view from our home
 and it's a KILLER hike
(also a fun fact... we're in the Pinnacle Peak Ward)

3. Ever wondered why in the heck we don't have daylight-saving time like the rest of the country?
well its all because of these

 In 1967, Arizona adopted daylight saving to go along with the Uniform Time Act, which tried to put the entire nation on one time system. But, after a summer of sunsets that didn't come till nearly 9 p.m., residents realized they needed another hour of evening sun. So Arizona abandoned the plan.

4. Whoever gets to name Cactus has the best job ever!
Really, there are Tons of different kinds and I'll show you two of my favorites
This cactus is called Roadkill
Note: we have these in our yard but they were attached by a mean bunny! RUDE
This cactus is called Shark Teeth

5. Why do so many old people move to Arizona you may ask?
I've heard old people tend to have bad circulation and get cold easily, so they move to warmer climates like Arizona
but whatever it is ALL of our neighbor fall under this category 
and so our neighborhood looks like a ghost town.
no fun for newly weds

VISIT SOON!!
