Our Second Anniversary

So, two years under the belt. Another two to go!! (totally kidding) How different do we look now? I still smile like that at him daily. He makes me really happy!

August 29, 2009 at the Temple in the World's Best City.

August 29, 2011 at Guiseppe's in Tucson.

Peter took me out to the nicest place Tucson had to offer and I made dessert. This was my first fancy-schmancy cheesecake, Caramel Apple Cheesecake with Streusel Topping. All thanks to Mel's Kitchen Cafe.
And my sister Anne for letting me call every 20 minutes when I try baking something difficult. ::wink::

Now, onto the next 75 years so Peter and I make it to this adorable couple!

Peter "The Grad Student" Leavitt

As you know, we moved to Tucson two weeks ago for Peter to start his PhD in Social Psychology. He's been looking forward to starting Graduate School for about 3 years now. I had to get pictures of the event.

This is his first day of Orientation last week.

This is going to class today, his first day of Grad School.
We were both pretty excited!

He wasn't excited that I wanted so many pictures, but I wanted to remember this day!

We're in Arizona Now!

Even with a sun-shade in my car, it's just so hot!

We try to not drive in the afternoon for the reason shown above.

When I was a kid, I have two specific memories of my dad buying me TCBY yogurt with sprinkles at the airport. That sort of thing really sticks with a kid. Peter knows well, I always get sprinkles, and I think this is why. I splurged and just got some. It's making me happy, although it made me tear up a little bit too (which is really rare for me).

I'm on a layover right now that's delayed in Phoenix. I've got a lot of thoughts running through my head. I'm flying back to San Diego after having been in Tucson since Sunday. I bringing back our second car and I have my last recital on Saturday. Just a lot of transitions.

The whole Tucson thing isn't going to well... yet. We're going to manage another building again, and really lucked out getting one in Tucson. We didn't see it before we signed and it's just a bad-on-bad situation. But, school starts for Peter in 2 weeks and we're really excited for him to do that (although I'm going to be so bored)! I'm looking forward to making new friends, cooking dinner each night, taking an Institute class on Studying the Scriptures and that my darling Peter will be loving and working hard in his program.

I'll be posting much more once all this is done. Thanks for letting me vent.


Fingers crossed for Tucson to be good! I really hope I can say it got 100% better!
