Update

It has been a few weeks since I have updated my blog.  Sorry about that.  It has been a crazy few weeks.  If you did not know, we are now back in Alabama!!  Very happy to be home.  "There is no place like home."
Our last week out in Arizona, Kip's mom (Terrie/Noana) came out to go to his graduation and to help clean and pack everything up.  Also my brother (Coley) came to drive the car back for us so that Kip could fly back with the girls and I.  Got to love my sweet brother for doing that.  I am so glad that Kip finally got to fly with the girls.
Our last weekend there we took Ms. Terrie and Coley around and showed them a few things, and even got to do somethings that we had not done while we were out there.  One thing that we did was go to the border.  We lived about 5-10 minutes away from the border.  We also hiked some mountains to see the border from their.   Which I nor Kip's mom knew we were going to be doing and definitely were not dressed for that.  It was beautiful scenery.  (I do miss those views!!)   We also went to another small town called Bisbee.  It is known for its mining and art.  Very interesting.

 This is the view from the top of the mountain.  Gorgeous!!

 Uncle Coley and the girls.


 Noana and the girls.

 Behind us is Mexico.

 That black line is the border.
This is the border up close.  The border does not look like this all the way.  In some areas it is just a barbwire fence in which of course has been cut.  I don't know why they would use a barbwire fence for a border.




 This is one of the mining areas in Bisbee.

And of course the best part of it all was Kip's graduation.  We are so proud of him, and thankful to the good Lord for providing a job for him for when we returned back home.
Here he is presenting a plaque.



This was in front of our house.

We had a great time while we were in Arizona.  We were able to do so many things that we probably would never have had the opportunity to do otherwise.  We are however very thankful to be home!
