Welcome to Oro Valley (Tucson) Arizona!

Jim, Gypsy, Max & I made the six and half hour trek from Aliso Viejo, CA to Oro Valley, AZ. Granted Gypsy required some doggy downers to be calmer.  Max just slept.  

The 18 Wheeler arrived with all of our worldly possessions and we are still unpacking...

It is fun organizing our new home and the dogs are having a blast in their new backyard....Hotel Duran will be open for visitors soon!!!

The Hitchin' of Nicole & Danny

Last weekend Jim & I headed to Huntsville Alabama via Houston for my lil' sister's wedding!  It was great hanging with the family and seeing Danny & Nicole so happy! Nicole looked so beautiful in my wedding dress--I cried of course!  

When I get some pics, I will post them.
