We stayed with my cousins Mike and Camille, who live in Gilbert, which is going to be about 40 minutes away from us in Glendale. They were the best hosts and we had a great time.
We flew in Friday night, rented a car, and got to Mike and Camille's around 7. We were all starving and went out to eat at a local pizza/italian place (I can't remember what it was called). We shared calzones that were HUGE and sooo good. Then we went to Bahama Bucks for some shaved ice (it reminded me a lot of Matsumoto's in Hawaii) and was so good too. Mike and Camille treated us to both.
Saturday we got breakfast and then started our day looking around for places to live. I tried to schedule us for a variety of places to look at before we went down...houses, apartments, town homes. We were able to see about 10 places and I think we've decided on one and going to pay the deposit for it this weekend. The one we chose is 2 blocks from campus (this had a lot to do with our decision), which will be so nice to be able to visit John during lunch or whenever he has a break. It's a 2 bedroom apartment in a gated community, with a pool, exercise room, all that good stuff. It is really nice and we are excited about it.
On our way back to Mike and Camille's we stopped at the Cardinal football stadium (John's request....he is excited to hopefully go to a game sometime). It was huge and cool to see. We also stopped at the Mesa Temple and walked around the grounds and cooled off in the visitors center for awhile. (Sorry the next pictures are blurry...they were taken with my phone)

Once we got back to Mike and Camille's we hung out for a bit before we went to Joe's Farm Grill. Once again, it was sooo good (this is a place that has been on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives on the food network).
got these pictures off of Camille's blog
