In February I walked a half-marathon with two friends. I was a little under the weather with what was later diagnosed as a sinus infection but we still made pretty good time for walking! I was so happy and proud once I was done and I am already looking for another one. I would like to complete it in a shorter amount of time!! This was my first visit to Myrtle Beach, SC and the walk through the beach town gave me a good feel for it. I imagine in the summer it is a lot like Panama City Beach, FL.

I flew out to Arizona for a long weekend in Feb. I met my mom, Tata and Uncle Larry there for the world’s largest gem and mineral show. This is where my uncle gets stones for the jewelry he makes. I can’t begin to even explain the size of this event! There were so many amazing things to take in and experience.  I came back with some new pieces of jewelry that I love and a few other fun items also…. clothes and a purse:)

While I was there we were able to get away to Old Tucson Studios. I saw where many westerns have been filmed.

We also went to Saguaro National Park and viewed the desert up close. The saguaro cacti were enormous and really amazed me. I was impressed with how they grew everywhere and covered the mountains. I even saw a javelina (wild pig) run across the road while we were driving
