Wow, it's been TOO LONG since I've posted! Thanks to Maddy, my dear little sis, I've been commanded to post again. I finally figured out that Macs make blogging a little trickier, so I added my photos FIRST this time instead of typing up a huge long post and then losing it all when I add my photos. Anyway, we are LOVING Albuquerque. Tucson was nice, but it seems like such a dry, HOT, distant memory now. We literally live in the foothills of the majestic Sandia mountains, and the vibrant sunsets here turn the mountain face the most awesome shade of pinkish-orange. The Albuquerque LDS Temple is 1.7 miles from our FRONT DOOR and, although not the largest temple ever constructed, it is still a beautiful House of the Lord. Our ward is so nice, and I don't know if I've ever seen more babies in one congregation (which does NOT help with my baby hunger!). They have announced at least one new birth a week since we've been here, and there are still more to come. Give this ward 5 years and their Primary's gonna be HUGE!!! Anyway, we really are loving our temporary little life here. Ross' sales have stayed consistent and I've been able to be more social with the other Pinnacle wives, which has been so much fun. It's fun to get together with them and go to lunch, have a movie night, or just have girls to chat with. We love our husbands, but sometimes we just need to have girl talk!
In just the weeks that we've been here, Ross and I have enjoyed hiking, taking the Aerial Tram to Sandia Peak, swimming, and are SO EXCITED to go to Santa Fe in just a few days! It's only about 55 miles up the freeway, and the world-famous Santa Fe Opera was just too tempting for us:) We looked into what opera's they're doing this season, and when we saw that Mozart's "Le Nozze di Figaro" (The Marriage of Figaro) was in production, we decided that it was a must-see. Ross is just excited about the opera in general, but I had the opportunity to actually study and research pieces from the opera for one of my classes last year, so I'm stoked! We've heard only great things about Santa Fe, so we figured we needed to take advantage of being so close to such an enchanting city. New Mexico is, afterall, the "Land of Enchantment"! Can't beat that! Here are some pictures from our adventures so far:
Saying goodbye to Tucson... I must say, the sunsets there were spectacular! 
Standing at 10,000+ feet at the top of Sandia Peak. The Aerial Tram here is the longest in the world.
I must say, watching the sunset over Albuquerque makes for quite the romantic evening ;)
Nighttime in Albuquerque on the 4th of July.
We have some amazing thunderstorms here (it's monsoon season), and they almost always hit late-afternoon. With these storms comes some really intense (and awesome!) lightning, and I've seen more rainbows in the past month than I have in the past decade I think. So beautiful!So, needless to say, life stays pretty exciting and there are always things to do. We are happy, healthy, and still very much in love! Life is great!

i can't believe it's been a year. A year ago we were running through the target parking lot getting completely soaked only to find out if we had waited 5 minutes, the rain woulda stopped. Ugh :) I love that picture of you and Ross. Keep going keep going! You're doing good!!
Assuming this is the case, that will enhance your odds of getting an expansive credit and will bring down financing costs and expenses and additionally offer you a broadened result period. Try not to stress on the off chance that you don't have security. payday loans san-diego
