Never say never —- When Ryan graduated law school at the University of Arizona, we moved back to North Carolina. I told him I would never move back to the desert. After a few years in North Carolina and a four year detour in Seattle we are back in Arizona!…
…and back to the desert we go. The photo below was our last trip to Arizona when I was eight months pregnant with Mason. We can’t wait to raise our family in the desert! We started our life as a married couple in Tucson, Arizona eight years ago and it’s…
