Why Prescott?

One of the perks of going into Orthodontics is being able to choose where you want to live. Many people have asked us why we want to move to Prescott Valley, AZ. Actually, here in St Louis, people look at us like we're crazy to move to HOT and DRY Arizona (so HOT and HUMID doesn't bother them like it bothers us?). And then we tell them that Prescott is in the mountains like Sedona or Flagstaff, not like Pheonix. Then they say "ohhh. Well, that sounds good."

So, why did we choose Prescott? Oh, for many, many reasons. We've been lucky to visit several times in the last few years...and each time we go, we fall in love with it more.

--kayaking on Willow Creek Reservoir
--the smell of the pines
--the art and shops on Wiskey Row
--running on trails that you can quickly get to from your front door
--the small-town feel of safety
--the city perks like the Mall, Costco, Sam's, etc
--hiking around Goldwater lake
--the schools
--the closeness with nature

Now we're looking forward to getting to know the people more.
