That was the temperature in Phoenix yesterday. The hottest day there yet in the 21st century, and we managed to be in town to appreciate it. Lucky us. My husband was in a meeting all day long & I got to entertain both kids in an environment I really don't think humans were meant to live in. Walking from the hotel into the heat, I felt like I was running into a brick wall. Since it's the "monsoon season" right now, it was just humid enough to make it feel really hot (according to the local weather report). "By the end of next week, however," the forecasters assured their listeners, "the temperature will drop down to a cool 105 degrees."
Why, oh why do so many people choose to live in Phoenix? It's the 5th largest city in the USA! All I've got to say is that there are a lot of truly insane people out there.

About Me
- Heather Marie
- I grew up in Bangladesh, Kenya, and a sprinkling of states, and am currently growing my roots down into Western Washington soil. My husband is a physician for a local Native American tribe, and we have three quirky kids.
I love the ocean, being surprised by beauty, and ice cream. I have a heart for the most vulnerable, both here and around the world. I love to listen to and learn from the stories of others, and I long for my own stories to connect with and encourage readers.
I got a degree in Christian Education like my mom, then a degree in Public Health like my dad. After 14 years of full-time parenting, I'm realizing that the world is so much larger than I thought. I'm beginning to listen to Jesus and walk with him on our own path, one that reflects who I am and who I am becoming. It is a delight with terror in it!
