friday's letters {settling in}

Dear Arizona, After unpacking and chipping my nails on cardboard boxes all week long, I'm finally ready to explore you. As we were driving through Old Town Scottsdale last night {from the car dealership - ugh!}, I spotted a few sushi restaurants I'm very excited to try. There's nothing better than a few Philadelphia Rolls and some Edamame too cheer you up. Dear Car Shopping, You steal my soul and make me want to punch things. Every time I fall in love with a pretty SUV, the car salesman decides to increase the price by tacking on a ton of fees. I thought the husband and I would be great at negotiating {since we turn into experts when we're fighting with each other} but alas, you win. And I despise you. Dear Tunisia, It was only last month we were exploring your beautiful country, and now the United States embassy and an American school is being attacked. Scary times; I hope everyone stays safe. Dear Negative Political Ads, You frustrate me and everyone else, yet it seems like you're becoming far more common. It's times like these when I'm glad I no longer work on the Hill. Dear Malcolm, I can't decide if you need a doggy friend. We found a cute terrier we've been considering adopting, but do we really want to move two dogs in 6 months when we're off to Florida? {yes, we're moving again in 6 months} And two hyper terriers, no less. I guess you would have a buddy to keep you company in the back seat, and then maybe you wouldn't feel the need to jump all over me with your sharp nails. Dear iPhone 5, Yeahhhhh!!! This will be my first iPhone ever and I can't wait to throw my awful Droid out the window! Dear Husband, I can't wait to resume date night soon. I feel like we haven't gone out in months because we've been so busy! Dear Blog, I've been neglecting you recently because I honestly don't have anything to write about -- every day feels the same. We're moving around like crazy people and unpacking. And then doing it again. I could do a million trip posts I've been putting off {since we visited 14 countries last year - eek} but I haven't felt up to it. Hopefully this changes soon!
