2 Years Ago





2 years ago . . . 

I retired from teaching, a job I truly loved

2 years ago . . . 

I packed up and sold my house of 30 years

2 years ago . . . 

I had to say goodbye to 40 plus year friends

2 years ago . . . 
I bought a one way ticket to New Mexico

2 years ago . . . 

I was filled with all kinds of emotions thinking about the new life we were about to begin

2 years ago . . . 

We moved in to our new home and settled in to our new life

Today, I think back . . .

And realize as much as I miss the kiddos, it's good to be away from the stress

Today, I think back . . .

How our new home feels really good and many new memories have been already been made

Today, I think back . . .

How my friends will always be in my heart no matter how many miles separate us, but we have made some really good friends here

Today, I think back . . .

And I am amazed how fast these 2 years have gone by, but very thankful for the many friends that have come so that I can share a little part of this wonderful place I now call home!


One of our many beautiful sunsets!
