Flagstaff

So I have come to the realization that Flagstaff is truly an amazing place. Growing up, I used to always come up here in the summers and camp for my dad's softball tournaments. I always loved it. I never imagined actually going to NAU and living up here for 5 years though. Weird right? I always dreamed to go to SDSU. Well, reality hit and my parents couldn't afford out of state tuition so I had to choose an in state University. NAU was probably the best decision of my life. I had my first love, joined a sorority, danced on bar tops, met my future husband and found myself in Flagstaff. I will always cherish the memories made up here. Every now and then we get the opportunity to come up here and just visit. Luckily Matt's mom and step dad still live here so we always have somewhere to stay.

As I am sitting in my favorite Starbucks on Milton, I am thankful to have these days. Thankful that Flagstaff will always be here. In my heart of hearts I want to move back so bad, but know that with Matt's job it is not reality. Maybe one day when he makes it rich (I know I won't on a teachers salary) we can get a cabin in the woods and make it our summer home. One day. A girl can dream right?!

I have come a long way in the 3 1/2 years since I left this place. I am happy with where I am now and what I have conquered and accomplished, but I can't help but love this little piece of me. Of Matt. Of both of us. I love this place! Thank you Flagstaff for all the college memories :)
