Greetings From New Mexico!


Flash back to June 27th . . . we left Chicago for our new life in New Mexico. It was a very difficult last few weeks . . . saying goodbye to my dear friends and family even though there were promises of seeing them soon…  Our plan was that we would be renting a house until about the July 4th weekend, well we learned quickly we now live in the land of “manana” (an attitude we will grow to love but not when waiting to get into the house) and when building a home you are at the mercy of inspectors. . .  Flash forward to July 23rd  we finally get clearance to move in . . . yes we were a bit off on our schedule of the 4th weekend! It was a crazy adventure those 3 weeks but we managed to hang in there because really what choice did we have?! Since moving in we have been working like crazy trying to unpack, organize, and of course buy things that we want/need to make it a comfy home for us and for those who may come out to visit.  There will be more to come on this new adventure . . . but for now I will go out back and enjoy the view of a hot air balloon flying in the sky. . . a site I hope never becomes “normal”

  2. Yeah! You made it! I know it was a crazy, stressful couple of weeks for you, but finally you are in your new house and making it your home. I cannot wait to see some pictures! Enjoy the "manana" now -- you can actually stop and watch the hot air balloons, there's no rush!!! Hugs Lynn!
