Get out and do something...

So, I run across people on a daily basis who tell me how boring Lake Havasu City is.  I get so annoyed when I hear that.  My response.....find something to do so you won't be bored.  This weekend there are a couple really fun events that I encourage all of you bored couch lovers to attend:

1st is the 5K Color Dash. Not only will you get a little fun and exercise but you will be benefitting the Havasu Community Health Foundation and Havasu Health Walk Challenge.

After you burn away this past weeks calories, put some of them right back in by going to the Music Brews and BBQ Championship at the Nautical Beach Resort.

So get of your behind and get your running shoes on, your charity on, and your appetite on this weekend!!!!!

Cool Breeze

I love this time of year in Havasu because the weather is so unpredictable!  Last week we were living it up outdoors in cozy 80 degree temps and this morning I wake up to a cool breeze for the north and the smell of rain in the air.  I sat on my back porch with a cup of coffee watching the hazy clouds roll along and felt so grateful.  Who says we don't have four seasons?

Artic chill? Not here.

I have family in Missouri.  They have been snowed in for a week!  I feel a little guilty because I was outdoors today enjoying some paddle boarding on the lake and eating up the warm, sunny, and clear day in Havasu. How lucky are we to live here?

Support of a community.

I met a woman today who loves Havasu as much as I do. It was refreshing to hear someone talk about our home with such enthusiasm. Sadly, she lost her son in a horrible accident but was able to find a positive to her tragedy. Although I don't feel that it is my place to share specific details of her story, I do want to pass on her message. She spoke of how supportive our wonderful little town was to her family during the worst time of their lives. People she didn't know reached out to provide support. Because of the community, she found a strength and desire to give back to others and has become involved in many charities she wouldn't have otherwise. She was really inspiring. I hope I will start hearing more and more positive stories like theses that I can share with you all.

Good life!

Rockabilly and Fireworks! BOOM!

There are so many fun events in Havasu and this weekend is no exception. Rockabilly weekend is here!!!! I look forward to it every year. How can you go wrong with good music, sweet rides, beer, and junk food? Even better is finishing off each evening with a healthy dose of fireworks!! I am a 4th of July baby so I definitely have a soft spot for fireworks!! I hope everyone gets out and enjoys what our beautiful community is offering this weekend. Safety first!

My first blog post ever!

This first official post is my attempt at seeing how this all works. I am a little anxious posting a blog because although I talk a lot, I don't know about posting it. I have the general concept of what I will be blogging about so I appreciate everyone's patience.
