So it is a new year and even more weird, I have been living in AZ  for a year.  In some ways I feel like we have been here much longer than  that but in other ways I still feel like it is a very new place.  It is  starting to feel a little more like home and once we have a house to  call our own I think it will start feeling a lot more like home.  
 Ez, Karl and I were lucky enough to have Dev and Beck  come down for a visit.  The weather here was amazing and so Dev was able  to get in a lot of golfing which makes him happy and Karl was able to  go on a lot of walks with Beck with made Karl happy.  Beck is quickly  becoming Karl's favorite person.  
 We were able to go out to restaurants and go shopping  and have an all around awesome time.  When they left I was  defiantly feeling a bit home sick.  The good news is now that up north  is feeling a little cold and down here is feeling really nice we are  getting a lot more people calling to get some warm weather and some MEK  (Mal, Eric, Karl) time.
