If I’ve lived there, she’s come to visit.
I am so lucky to have this woman in my life and she’s been there for nearly all of it. So when Karina booked her ticket to Albuquerque we immediately started making plans for an adventure. And adventure we did!
I finally made it out to the volcanoes by our house for a quick run. Stunning isn’t even a word that can describe the feeling of the black rock below ones feet.
I’ve been in love with the Petroglyphs since the first time I laid eyes on them. Every chance I get to show them to someone new I jump on it. My co-worker Chy & I have the same scheduled half day & since we’re both recent transplants to New Mexico we headed over to the park for an afternoon walkabout. I saw my first jackrabbit! (I may or may not have screamed. First in terror, then in delight.)
Brian & I have been getting our TK kits out into the community as new members of the Dewback Ridge Garrison. The local 501st group couldn’t be more welcoming and the community couldn’t be more supportive. I’m looking forward to many more troops!
Brians brother, Jesse, came to hang out with us in Albuquerque for a few weeks. During one of our weekends’ excursions, we headed north to Tent Rocks National Monument for a trek through the slot canyons before summiting the cliffs for the most beautiful view.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t enjoying our new home. It’s October!!
For this year’s festivities, my adventure was a bit unique – I wasn’t out skydiving or seeking my usual hit of adrenaline. I spent the weekend immersed in a new experience of documenting the love and life of a beautiful couple.
Thanks so much to all my family and friends who reminded me in a multitude of ways how lucky I am to have survived another trip around the sun. Xoxo.
