My family and I spent Thanksgiving in Phoenix, Arizona, which is where my husband grew up and my in-laws still live. Most of you are familiar with my story by now. I grew up in Southern Illinois, but I moved to Phoenix ten years ago after graduating from law school. That is where I passed the bar exam, practiced law, met my husband, bought my first home, and had my first child. I love the desert. I do. My hair never looks better than it does in 8% humidity. I love the fact you can wear sleeveless dresses at Easter without having to throw a winter coat on top. I love the tall Saguaros. And I absolutely cannot get enough of the gorgeous San Tan Mountains. But something changed in me when my daughter was born and I longed for seasons again. When Torin was six-months-old, we moved to Nashville. This is home now, and I never want to live anywhere else. But it’s wonderful to go back to visit. :)
My pride and joy. Notice how my son is incapable of acting normal for a picture.
