Why I'm here

I was born in Phoenix, Arizona, but I currently live in Flagstaff, Arizona, so that I can go to Northern Arizona University. I am currently studying Elementary Education. (Yes, I have changed my major, much to the surprise of people who know me. I've traded the microscope and beaker for chalk and snotty noses.)

I really like to snowboard, which is another reason why I live here. However, Flagstaff does not have the best snow seasons. They are working on being able to make snow, so that snow seasons will be a little bit better with the amount of snow we get.

Flagstaff is Unique in Arizona

When people think of Arizona, they don't think of how much of it is covered in forest. They think of sand or gila monsters. I really like Flagstaff because of how different it is from other places in Arizona. I have come to love the northern country, almost more than the desert. However, one thing is for sure; whether it is the desert or the forest, both are very dry. In fact, Flagstaff is located in what is considered an arrid desert.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:It's a small town (in a lot of ways), with the nicest people, but with everything that the big cities have.
  • Cons:Snow seasons aren't very dependable :(
  • In a nutshell:The best place to go to school, and live.

    My best memory of Flagstaff was the Little America Hotel. Stopping there for lunch on the way back from Phoenix to LHC. Taking the scenic route after driving down to Phoenix the otherside who would believe there is "green" in AZ.

    we just got back from our first trip to Flag and must concur with your love for Macy's. The fruit n couscous for breakfast was a real treat.

    Snow and fall colors, you're right, definitely not the AZ most people would think of. I like Thai, though I haven't tried any of the dishes you mentioned :)
