I say it all the time and I sincerely mean it, there is an intoxicating beauty that you fall in love with in the desert -- which makes saying goodbye,

You know the desert has a beauty to it that is intoxicating. When we found out we were moving to the desert -- no words, just tears. I kept telling myself the people there seem to love it. It only took 3 days in our first desert locale to fall in love. Was it hot !??!?!!? YAASSSS!!!!
