Recovering from the weekend!

Hope everyone had a great FOURTH of JULY! John and I made our way up to Phoenix for the weekend. We had a two night stay voucher for Marriott that we decided to take advantage of. We took the oppritunity to go to the Mesa Temple which I have not been to since we moved from phoenix ten years ago. It was amazing. We were very excited to go.
We also decided to go check out IKEA. Once it again the store never seems to fail me. Simply the best thing ever. We bought some awsome office furniture and day dreamed about our kitchen, bathrooms, and other rooms in an imagenary house we some day might build.
After our shopping adventures we headed out to Gilbert to see my sweet oldest sister and her family. We enjoyed some ymmy food, cute kiddies, and some video games for john and a sweet game of GO FISH for me and my nephews!
Once we wore out our welcome at Bek's we decided to head down to Town Lake in Tempe. Now they had just started building this lake right before I left so I have yet to experience this man made lake! BOOOO!!! Yes it does have a "pretty" factor about it however it has made the humidity (which was nonexsistant before it was made) skyrocket. When your dealing with on avg 105-120 heat, the last thing you want to deal with is HUMIDITY! So gross!
So we parked, walked a gazillion miles, paid to get into the "celebration" and promptly left ten minutes later. Too crowded, too hot, and too thirsty. We left and found some comfort food and drink at Gordon Birsche. YUM YUM!
Luckily our hotel was wonderful. I am a firm believer in Marriotts. It was the best bed Ive ever slept in. The bed ranked with our hotel at the Palms and Im sure if we paid for it it would have cost half the price. :)
Well anyways-
We came back to Tucson and set up our furniture as well as picked up our lovely kitchen table! Yay everything is complete. As soon as I get things organized and clean I will take some pictures!
Love you all! Hope you had a great weekend!
