Battle of the Bugs

Squash bugs. Have you ever heard of these evil little things? Well, I hadn't untill they DESTROYED OUR ZUCCHINI PLANT!! Losing that plant was like losing a child! We put so much love and effort into making it grow, and then right when it's about to produce fruit- BAM! The squash bugs strike! Before we knew it our plant was long gone. Those suckers reproduce like CRAZY! Seriously, our plant was covered before we could blink an eye. So, we had no choice. We had to strike back and finish things once and for all. Dan dug up the plant....

And took care of things.

So long, squash bugs. You may have won a battle, but we won the war!

Arizona

Last week, Dan and I drove to Phoenix for work. To sum things up, Arizona was FREAKISHLY HOT and we almost died of heat stroke a few times (and they were having a "cool" week) but we accomplished a lot and enjoyed our little adventure. The drive was our favorite part! It was beautiful and it's always fun to spend so much time together. Here are some pictures from our trip:

We pretty much loved Sedona! It was awesome!

Filling up out water bottles at a spring along the way. The best water I've ever tasted!
