Happy Birthday Arizona. Oh, and Happy V-Day too

First and foremost, today is Arizona's birthday. Now, I'm aware that I have been a Utah resident for three years now, but everyone knows I left my heart in AZ.

I know I'll always be an Arizonan because:

I used to save dental masks so I could grip the steering wheel in the summer.

My parents house is made of stucco and clay tile on the roof.

I used to run the air conditioner in the winter so I could use my fireplace.

I understand that QT is not just a gas station.

I think daylight savings is confusing and pointless.

My friends and I all stick together in Utah and are very proud of where we come from!

I love you Arizona!

On another note, today is Valentines Day. I've been working all weekend and the crowds have been insane. I'm also working tonight which is a bummer. I, being someone who isn't too fond of the holiday, am surprised by how many thoughtful people thought of me today! My mom send me a package, Ben sent me flowers, and I got cards from Carole, Grandma Marsha-Grandpa Nick, Callie, and some hand made valentines from the boys next door.

Living with 7 girls, there was bound to be a few sets of flowers on our table. I'm glad we are loved :)
