Two More Sleeps

What's New? 
Well folks...for those of you following my blog, a lot has changed since we were there in October and I was blogging for the first time.  We have moved to a new condo!! And I have not even seen it yet!!  

We closed on a new condo last month and this Wednesday, I get to see it for the first time.  That feels quite strange.  Craig has been a busy boy and went to see it before we finalized our offer and then he had a long weekend and Craig and our friend Frank physically moved us from the old condo to the new condo.  The other condo is now up for sale and we hope that in the new year it will sell quickly.  

Why the move? 
Well, we certainly were not unhappy where we were but we wanted more outdoor space since that is the main reason to spend time in Arizona.  Our new home has a nice yard and we even have our very own palm tree and a cactus!!  There is a grassy (fake grass) area and a covered back porch.  We have moved down in bedrooms from three to two bedrooms.  This condo is a split-master with two master bedrooms upstairs both with walk in closets and ensuites.  The main floor is very bright with lots of windows in the living/dining and kitchen.  We are also fortunate to have met some wonderful people who helped us get the new condo ready, even long distance.  It has been freshly painted from top to bottom and the carpets cleaned.  All I need to do is decorate and hang pictures from what I hear.  

Christmas Holidays
We will have the pleasure of having my Mom, Liz, with us for the first week during the holidays.  We have a number of things planned to do and we will be going to Sedona for a Pink Jeep Tour.  We are taking the Scenic Rim Tour since we are told that is not as "exciting" as the Broken Arrow tour we have already taken twice.  That's part of Mom's Christmas gift so we hope she enjoys it.  There are a ton of things to do and see so I will post what we get up to. People have asked me to keep blogging...  

The second week we are there on our own and we hope to get out on the motorcyle a bit but who knows?  I may even get Craig to lay by the pool and read a book.  Strange things do happen in Phoenix.  

We wish our friends a happy and safe holiday and we look forward to seeing everyone in the new year.
