The Thunder had one last rally in a standard-setting season, but it wasn’t enough.

We were married on St. Patrick’s Day at the Foothills Golf Club. The wedding was beautiful, everyone had a wonderful time, the pictures came out great — best wedding a couple could ask for. If it wasn’t for the Ahwatukee community; however, our day would have been a disaster.

Their masks may conceal their eyes but it does not impair their vision.

The return of several club players to the Desert Vista boys soccer program just might have them wondering what might have been if they had never left.

Squeakah is a beautiful female Pit Bull mix, approximately 1 year old. She is an awesome dog who enjoys to play, loves her toys and is an enthusiastic swimmer. She is still “puppyish” being only about a year old so she has lots of energy. Squeakah is affectionate and eager to please. She currently resides at Friends for Life’s adoption center in downtown Gilbert where she enjoys her daily walks and playtime with shelter volunteers. As fun as that sounds she very much would enjoy having her own home very soon.
