Don't tell New Orleans, but Phoenix has been giving me some pretty strong feelings since we moved here.
Over the past few years I've moved away from home to Chicago, then San Francisco, and finally ended up in Phoenix. Chicago helped me become more independent and be better at functioning as a full fledged adult. San Francisco helped cement my love for all things outdoors. And Phoenix? Well Phoenix is teaching me how much previously unknown love I have for all things desert (except scorpions...let's be honest).
We're looking to buy a house in the Phoenix area even though we've only been here about 6 months, so you can see it's really a very serious love we've fallen in. Geoff and I got engaged just before moving out here, so Phoenix will be where we enter married life, become homeowners, and hopefully start a family. That's a BIG deal.
Prickly pearadise is just a play on the Prickly Pear cactus because I'm secretly a 40 year old dad who is a fool for anything cringe and full of cheese (this post's title is further evidence of this fact). This is where I can document our adventures and misadventures as we go through these big life changes and beyond.
This will most likely be where I post about our outdoor adventures around the state and surrounding areas, but don't be thrown if I mix it up with some lifestyle posts too.
Welcome to my prickly pearadise,
