?!?Enjoying?!? the Arizona Heat

It sounded like a very hot idea and it turned out to be an extremely hot experience when we took a trip to Arizona in August. We saw the thermostat register 115 degrees a couple of times, but I was slow on the draw and could only capture a reading a couple of degrees lower. But, by the time it reaches 113 outside, what's a couple more degrees anyway? HOT IS HOT!!!!


We have now become official Isaksen family wedding stalkers. Six years ago to the day, we were in California attending Heather's wedding. More recently we went to Idaho for Brittany's wedding and now here we went to Arizona for Darin's wedding. It was nice to meet his sweet bride, Lisa, and to participate in the family dinner the night before the wedding day.




How great for the Isaksen family to all be together in one spot and have a family photo taken.


We were looking forward to attending a temple session at the Mesa Arizona Temple after the 9 a.m. wedding ceremony.




It's always such a fun thing to see the newlyweds come out of the temple and pose for pictures.






Debbie shares my "love" of hot weather (both of us wondering why anyone would actually want to live there...) and was trying to cool off herself and her grandkids by sharing capfuls of chilled bottled water with them.


The reception was very nice and we enjoyed visiting with all of the Isaksen family one last time before we all went our separate ways.





We definitely didn't let the heat get the best of us.

It was great to see you guys! I don't know how anyone lives in Arizona! That heat was INTENSE! Hopefully Nathan gets married somewhere a little cooler so you can come wedding stalk us in some nicer weather!
