Beyond the "my best friends are in the Midwest" aspect, here's one challenge I've found to living in Tucson: the lack of summer.
"Say whaaa, Jessica?! Isn't it like sunny 90% of the time and 105 degrees?"
Yep. Exactly what I mean.
I'm used to summer being the time I spend outside. Soaking up sun, searching for eateries with outside patios, walking all the time, throwing open a few windows (when you get those cooler days, of course), playing sand volleyball or slow pitch softball, grilling out, having outdoor parties - you know! When it's above 100, you don't really want to be outside much, you know?
So, getting used to spending summer indoors has been a process.
But you know what will be awesome? In a month-ish when I can do all of these things for the next nine months while my peeps back in the Midwest enjoy the cool, brisk fall weather (k, I'll miss the colors - and that first 'fall is officially here' day - but I'll enjoy weather like that all winter) and then dig themselves out from snowstorm, after snowstorm, after snowstorm. :)
Yeah, we'll take visitors....

And when you need your snow fix, come on up. You know me....I love fall, and winter comes in 2nd. :) You keep the heat. I'll keep the cool. :)
