Thomas and I enjoyed some time together on New Year's Eve remembering the highlights of the past year. Of course, Thomas quickly asked if he had to state the obvious...well, aren't they all obvious? Or maybe the blessings of our year are already really obvious to you...
For us both it was a real treasure to have my parents visit in January! They flew into Denver and picked Thomas and I up for a long weekend in Miami. It was their first trip to New Mexico, and it was as enchanting for them as it was for me. It was also the weekend we went to talk to
Corky and Chuck, from who we would eventually buy our property...
Buying property was a new adventure for both Thomas and I. After the long weeks of negotiations and back and forth, we signed on the dotted line and became owners of 10 acres in March. Though we didn't take possession until mid April, we had already moved some of our belongings into his parents' garage. The weekend it became ours we were in Portland...
We were lucky to have an all-purpose weekend of invitations, showers, and the like in April, but the real highlight was being there for my baby brother's baby's baptism. It was a lot of fun to be there for that day and the party, though the trip was somewhat mired in wedding planning.
There is no picture to do justice to what followed before our wedding day. Thomas and I both quit our jobs and spent hours and hours packing up our separate lives in Denver. It took many car and truck and trailer loads to get it done, but most our worldly possessions made it, as we officially became residents of Miami, NM on May 30
