Home Sweet Home?

About the time Texas starts to get all the nasty cold weather, Kelly and I decide that we have had enough and head west to for a little fun and sun in the desert. Wait...that isn't exactly how it happens. Due to our jobs, we have to uproot our lives, pack all the essentials and anything else we can think of, and move to Surprise to work at Spring Training. Surprise is a pretty little city north west of Phoenix. Mountains all around, 10,000 snow birds that drive 15 miles under the speed limit, lots of places to eat, cool new things to see, and fabulous weather. I have been coming out here with Kelly since 2008 and we have stayed at a new place every year. This year we are at the Residences at Stadium Village in the heart of Surprise. You could not possibly live any closer to the ballpark than we are. We are practically in the Royals back fields. In fact, from my desk at the office, you can see our apartment!



This is our building #8. It is super fun with all the colors, textures and shapes. It is pretty quiet community.

We like the high life and choose the 3rd floor each time. Lots of stairs but at least we don't hear anyone above us. Nothing is worse than to be woken up to people stomping around above you.

Come and knock on my door...actually, if somebody did, I would totally be freaked out!

This is our little eating area. We have not once had a meal on this table and I can safely say we don't plan to. The good thing about life in AZ is that we eat out every meal! Thanks for the meal money Rangers! No cooking, no mess and no dishes! If the glare wasn't so bad, you could see out the right window the White Tank Mountains. It also over looks the pool!

This is the view from our kitchen sink. We get the best sunsets and are able to see the mountains when we are washing our....cups? No dishes, remember?!?

I would have taken a picture of the rest of our 2 bedroom casa but it is not clean and I didn't feel like trying to fake it for the camera. We love having guests so start planning your trip to Arizona now!
