Four years ago, we met at a BlogHer conference in New York City and hit it off immediately. So much has evolved in her life since then - she became a full-time freelance writer, married her high school sweetheart, and found 'home' in the beautiful Arizona desert.
If you are planning a move to Phoenix (or already live here!), you'll find some great ideas here.
In her words, here are 20 of the most unforgettable things
Jenn did, saw, tried and tasted during her first year as a Phoenix resident:
1) Attended Arizona Restaurant Week with new friends I met through
blogging.
2) Searched for – and ultimately bought! – our first house.
4)
Sipped and savored delicious drinks and dishes at the Taste of Cave Creek.
5) Voted
in my first presidential election as an Arizona resident.
6) Began
a Thanksgiving tradition that brings my family and my
husband’s family together.
8)
Decked our house with Christmas cheer,
including our first tree in our new home.
9)
Joined “Team Dessert” to run Ragnar Del Sol, a 200-mile, 36-hour relay race
in the desert.
11)
Competed in a fun and exhausting (in the best way) golf tournament with my mom.
12) Attended
PhoenixComicon dressed
as Hermione Granger.
13) Took
a road trip to Sedona with a friend who I hadn’t seen
in two and a half years.
14) Went
tubing and rock jumping at the breathtaking Canyon Lake.
16)
Enrolled in a “Custards and Creams” course at the Classic Cooking Academy.
17)
Volunteered with Habitat for Humanity and UMOM New Day Center.
18)
Co-hosted a Harry Potter party, which we appropriately titled,
“Order of the Phoenix, AZ.”
19) Took
a fall road trip to the Grand Canyon and Oak
Creek Canyon.
"It was a lot of fun to look back on our first year and realize just how adventurous we were in our new surroundings."
