Post 1

So I've never done a blog before... should be kinda interesting. I've kept journals off and on, but not very consistently. Journals are usually boring to read anyways.







So anyways, this blog is going to be about my first year in Phoenix, AZ. I just moved here a couple months ago from a very small town in Idaho. And yes, moving to a big city is somewhat of a culture shock. Not a huge one, but a little one.
Going from a town with a few stoplights, to a city with more stoplights than all of Idaho combined, is kinda crazy. Ok so that might have been a slightly over exaggerated guess, but now that I'm thinking about it... it could very well be true.

2 things I miss about being in Idaho (besides the obvious one of missing my family)
1. Snow. I know most people hate it, and the cold, and the ice. But I miss it like you wouldn't believe. I love it, every time. It's basically to justify pulling on some big boots, a furry coat, and long warm scarf. Maybe even a crazy hat too. You try that here and people look at you like your nuts. So for now, byebye to cute little pea coats and wooly knitted scarves. I will be back some day to visit.
2. Coffee. Not just ANY coffee, I can always go across the street to Starbucks for that. But I miss having a favorite coffee shop (boo hoo I know my life is really rough). Some place to go and just relax, do some homework, meet up with friends, have another cup of the coffee that is amazing every time. And how are you supposed to find a place like that? Google coffee shops and visit each one? Stoooopid. So I just go to Starbucks instead. Sad.
