Heading to OKC

at 2am this morning. Yep, 2AM!! Jonathan likes to leave at that time so we don't "waste" an entire day driving. This was we will get in OKC around 1pm. Jonathan enjoys driving and doesn't mind me sleeping a lot of the trip. I just take over for a few hours while the sun comes up.

We are both excited to see some family and be in OK again.

This is what happens

when the wind blows in Farmington, NM.

Look directly at the sun and this is what you see.

Why are weekends so short

We decided Saturday morning we wanted to go for a drive to Silverton, CO and see what trails were open and how much snow was left. We had a great day. We were able to drive around quite a bit considering there was about 10 feet of snow in snow areas. This is a picture of a stop on the highway between Durango and Silverton. Usually there is a large parking lot, trails, a look out spot and restrooms. This is what we saw when we pulled up, thinking we would go to the look out and get some nice pictures.

Jonathan found that out the hard way in one area. The snow was packed really firm, walking on it you didn't sink in at all. Jonathan got a little too comfortable on it and stepped in one spot and feel in up to his waist. After I recovered from laughing I realized he was soaked from the waist down and got some heat going in the truck. That was a priceless site!!!

We did get some beautiful shots. I've added some of my favorites below.

We are thinking we will use some of our favorite travel pics in one or both of our guestrooms in the new house for our walls. Maybe even showing the four seasons on each wall if we have enough of each.

We will be able to start moving into our new house on the weekend of May 15th. We can't wait. We're already started packing up winter clothes and things we don't use reguarly.

I can't believe it is almost May already. We're two weeks away from being back in OK for a few days. Also, a month away from our 1 year wedding anniversary and moving to NM. That really seems impossible. It sounds corny, but time does flies!!! I can't wait to see family and friends again soon.

HOME OWNERS!!!!

We are home owners!!! I've posted some pics of the house. All the pics have previously home owners furniture still in them, but our's matches their's pretty well, so the colors will work great!!

Front of the house

Now all you have to do is come visit and see it in person!!!!!!!

House

We put an offer in on a house Friday night. We're waiting to see if its accepted or we get a counter offer. Pictures and info. to come soon!!!

New or Build?

We are house hunting!

We've seen a few houses, driven by LOTS and are almost to be decision point. We are trying to decide whether we want to buy a new(er) house or build one. Building would be a little more, but we'd get exactly what we want. Not decisions yet, but soon! I'd say within the next two weeks we will have started paperwork to buy or build. We are VERY excited!!!

There are two houses we've looked at and narrowed our search down to. We like them both, but we don't like one or two aspects of each, that's why we are considering building and getting just want we want, and not something we don't.

I found out I am approved for all of my days off for our OK trips in May and June. We'll be back and can't wait in a few weeks.
