Our apartment and In and Out!

Casey left my camera in my Uncle's motor home because they went to the dune's yesterday (more about that later) so I can't do a video tour right now. But here are some pictures so you can see glimpses of our life in Arizona.

This is our apartment complex, Desert Gardens II. The complex is really nice and right across from Luke Air Force Base. About 70% of the residents that live in DGII are working on the base including our neighbor next door who welcomed us with a late night party on our first night. He apologized and said that we were invited whenever he had music going. :) Funny.


This is the leasing office where I work. My Aunt is really good friends with the lady, Cathy, that owns the complex so that's how I got a job and our apartment. It's nice to be able to walk to work.

This is our apartment building. If you go up those stairs, our apartment would be on the left.

This is the heated pool which is open all year long.



This is the clubhouse. It has a kitchen and big screen TV inside. The mail boxes are on the other side of this building.


There are 6 ramadas in the complex with BBQs. You aren't allowed to have personal BBQ's so everyone shares these.



Casey and I went to the pool last weekend. Here is the basking hunk. He's excited about getting a tan.




We actually live in Glendale, AZ but this is a sign from Avondale where Casey's school is. It's really close to our apartment.

There are lots of palm trees and desert plants everywhere.


So it might be easy to be jealous of Arizonians because of their weather but you should really be jealous because they have In and Out. Very jealous.




We ate lunch at In and Out today. It was my first time since living here and it was so good. You have the option to get grilled onions on your hamburger. Mmmmm. Plus I was reading the information on the packaging. They buns are handmade with no preservatives. They use cholesterol free vegetable oil to cook their fries which they have been since they opened in 1948. The lettuce is hand leafed and the meat is fresh and not frozen. Obviously makes a big difference because the hamburgers are really good.
