NEW MEXICO!

I tried to take pictures on our drive to Albuquerque New Mexico. Unfortunately we drove the first 12-13 hours at night time. So I have the Welcome to Texas & a blurry Welcome to New Mexico picture. The last three are of the beautiful scenery we see everyday just driving around.





OUR JOURNEY: We had all three dogs in the back seat...that was definitely interesting! We drove the first day from Ohio -Indiana -Illinois -Missouri. We stayed the night in Missouri, work up early and drove another 12 hours to New Mexico!

FIRST FEW DAYS: We had our cable & internet set up our first day. We didn't have our furniture for 6-7 days. Our bed & couch was an air mattress! The second day at our house we didn't have water..we used my blow-dryer to heat up the frozen pipes & it actually worked!

CHRISTMAS EVE & CHRISTMAS DAY: We were invited to go to dinner at Beja's parents house on Christmas Eve, which was really nice. They invited us over for a nice Christmas lunch. Well, our navagation took us to the wrong 25th street. The 25th street we came to was in the middle of nowhere! The roads were all mud/snow/ice. We were driving in the desert for about 40 minutes trying to find a main road. The car got stuck 3-4 times & my gas light went on...needless to say it was not the best Christmas morning. We did make it to Beja's parents house, 50mins late. It turned out to be better but I never want to hang out in the desert AGAIN!

Work is going well for us both :) Just wanted to give everyone a little piece of what our lives have been like since we left. Love & Miss EVERYONE!
