Did you know "saguaro cactus" is Latin for "sprite trees"?

Greetings from Scottsdale! The weather here is becoming fantastic and I have been discovering new places to run and hike everyday. My roommates are lovely, work is great, and I'm currently trying to think of the perfect Halloween costume--I'll be spending my Oct 31st with the O'Hares, they had already been making plans back in June when I was living with them. I also just found out that I'll be able to watch General Conference on one of our few basic tv channels. I can't wait to visit the fam in October. And I think a family blog is such a wonderful idea, hats off to Andrew for getting this set up!
