Summer Is Approaching

It was in the mid-90’s all weekend and therefore it was sweltering hot and the Arizona summer is just around the corner. We spent Saturday with swass at the Scottsdale Culinary Festival. This is an annual event we do with our friends every year and this year definitely was no different from last year’s post. It was filled with good friends, good times, a vodka tent and drama. I won’t go into details since I wrote about it last year, but let’s just say everyone had a good time sweating their butts off until the sun went down. One difference from last year is that our friends, the Reitz’s, did not make it again for the second year in a row and Ross did not make it out from Wisconsin this year. Apparently the Reitz’s had a wedding to attend to…mmmmmm…sounds kind of fishy to me. Here is a picture of us with the Campbell’s and Mike and AJ in the vodka tent before it got crazy!

Then Sunday we spent the day lounging around the house in the heat because Andy didn’t think it was necessary to turn the air conditioner on when it was 96 degrees out. After much whining I got my way and he caved. Mainly I think he didn’t want to turn the AC on because he wanted to wait until we got the new one installed today. I think this will be the best purchase ever! I came home from work today and I noticed the difference in the house already. It is super quiet, energy efficient and will save us more than $200 a month on our energy bill this summer. By summer I mean from April through October. Being a home owner you get excited over things like a new air conditioning unit. I never thought that day for me would come, but today is the day. This new unit is just in time for the Arizona heat as it was in the mid-90’s again today. Bring on the 100 degree heat!!!
