As if the heat weren't enough...

Sorry! I have to have a little gripe session. One thing that drives me absolutely insane living in the "desert", is bugs. There are these cricket like bugs that infest the trees. They make this really annoying buzzing sound, not the soothing crickets that you hear at night in the mountains. They only do it in the summertime when it is really hot. So, it is almost unbearable to even attempt to go out your front door. At least we are going to have a reprieve for a week! Yeehaw! We are off to Utah while Phil is in California working. He is going to join us later in the week, so we can go to Jordan's wedding. Yay! Even the kids are so excited that they can't stand it. I am actually really looking forward to running in the mornings while in Utah too. I was going to post pictures of our backyard but, there have been a couple of things that they have to re-do so, I will post those when we return.
