IT'S FALL!!!!

This weekend Mike and I traveled up the mountains near Santa Fe with Big Mack in tow. The drive up there was amazingly beautiful! It's soo nice to have an actual change of seasons. The colors were amazing and it was fun to explore! We can't wait to go up there when it snows!

Big Mack would not sit!


He finally sat but wanted pets!

Wild Mushrooms!!!





Soo Cute!!!

Balloon Fiesta

On Oct. 3rd, Mike and I went to the INTERNATIONAL BALLOON FIESTA in Albuquerque, NM. It was soo much fun. We were freezing and had to get up insanely early, but we enjoyed seeing all the balloons lifting off and standing next to them. We had a blast and took a ton of cool pictures! Hope you enjoy!

Updates!!!

It's been a while since a post and a lot has happened.

First, both Mike and I graduated from U of A in May!!!

Second, we lived with Mike's parents over the summer.

Third, Mike and I moved to Santa Fe where I got a job teaching High School Biology and Earth Science and Mike got a job fixing computers while he works on building his own business.

Unfortunately, over the summer we had to get rid of Hans Otto. He just didn't work out with our other mean cats.


We both love living here in Santa Fe. Especially the weather. We've had to have a few fires and the leaves on the trees are already changing colors! It's soo exciting. Mike's making great contacts and building up his rep with the peeps who need computer help. I'm getting more used to the schedule and working on being a better teacher. Things are going great and we love having the income! And Oct. 1st starts our health care coverage! It's amazing how much we have grown! Things are looking great!

One great thing about living in Santa Fe is all the great things that go on around here. We were able to take the train for really cheap to go into Albuquerque and go to the zoo! It was my first time every being on a train! Mike has been on many as he informed me about his trips in China, Germany, Italy, blah blah blah :) Just kidding. He's been on some great trips with some great experiences.
There's also some really neat things going on soon. The Balloon Fiesta, Arts & Crafts Fair, and I believe a pumpkin thing. Anyway, tons of things going on and hopefully I can keep up with them.

Here's some pics of our recent adventures.

NEWS!!!

So, this weekend Mike and I were out shopping and running errands. When we went to the vet to get cat food we saw these two cats that were available to be adopted. One tried to latch on to us, the other was just chillin' on the ledge. Thinking not too much about it, we went around doing more errands. When we got to Petsmart, Mike was really talking about the cat on the ledge. After talking some more we decided to call and see what the vet required for adopting the cat. Well....the cat turned out to be a 2 year old, neutered male, completely up to date on shots and completely FREE!!! We immediately left PetCo (where we had ventered to after Petsmart) and went to see this cat. Turned out the cat was suited for our personalities (really independent and investigative, but doesn't scratch or hiss). So....we are now a 4 cat and 1 dog household! Here he is!!!


Snoozing after a looooooong day!


Such a cutie!!! With big eyes too!

Mike's ultimate dream has come true!
To have a Persian and be a villian!

Zoo Trip!

I realized I haven't a whole lot of pictures of us. I'll try more in the future. But we took a trip to the zoo last weekend. Here are some pictures of the zoo and some of the pictures we took. Hope you enjoy!









Butterfly Magic!

Back in February Mike and I visited the Tucson Botanical Gardens to see their Butterfly Magic Exhibit. We had tons of fun and even had a butterfly land on us. Below are some of the images we were ABLE to capture. Butterflies are extremely fast and our cameras were not quick enough most of the time!





Below are some of the plants that really caught our eyes. 



Christmas Pictures!

It's been a long time since a post, Mike and I have been insanely busy. But here's some pictures of us from the Christmas holiday! Enjoy!
