On a more spiritual note!

To make up for our last NON spiritual post my friend Margeurite Henry sent me this video. I tried posting it in a blog but it messed up the whole page. For all you LDS folk I would suggest watching this one. It's a compilation of quotes given by church leaders on preparation for the second coming. I'm not sure if it's because Max and I had just gone to the temple but this video touched me especially strong!!! Check it out!

Fun in Albquerque

It's hard to find fun in Albuquerque when you are a poor married couple!!! Between watching almost every movie my parent owe, and playing The Incredibles on the gamecube, or playing battleship, Max and I decided to get out and do something fun requiring little money! So we bought some bullets and drove out to the west mesa to shoot at stuff. We drove west on Southern Blvd forever to a right at a burnt old abandoned truck, drove past an old dishwasher and left at a toren couch. (if you're from New Mexico this is pretty funny because this could be anywhere in the west mesa) We brought a moving box and some rodent tagets(all of which brought home with use---"toss no mass") silly because there were plenty of broken bottles, dresseres, kitchen sink ect. to shoot at. We had a lot of fun it had been a while since I had shoot a gun. Max showed off his rifle shooting abilities.

I'm pretty proud of my little rodent target... he's not going to be running around anymore!!!

The Balloon Fiesta

By best friends Kenna and my sister-in-law Jessica flew down from Utah to visit Max and I and for the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta! They flew in on a Friday I pick them up at the airport at 10:30 but I had a physics test( which I got an A-) so they had to hangout on campus for a little bit. Fortunately, Becca didn’t have a class so she was able to entertain them. After we went back to our house and did a little hobo watching. I think Jessica was a little worried about sleeping here that night after seeing all the strange hobos walking around our house.

The next Morning we went to the Mass Ascension. This is about an hour or two were tons of balloon blow up and take off. This was my first time and I have to say it is pretty awesome!!!! I think Kenna and Jessica thought the same!

We did a little Geocaching in between conference sessions

The next afternoon we went to the Balloon Glow, here they have balloons lined up in row with space in between for people to walk. At dusk the announcer counts down from ten and on one all the balloonist first fire their balloons for an “all glow”. Its really need to see all the colors from the balloons.

Victoria's Secret Balloon

Max convinced Jess to split a turkey leg with him!

The girls were really lucky they came when they did. I kept trying to get them to come the following weekend but it didn’t work out with their schedules. The following weekend was really windy and most of the balloon events were canceled.

The House

Max and I have moved into a house in downtown Albuquerque. We are two buildings north of a rescue mission around meal times there is a mass migration of hobos in front of our house. It gives us a lot of entertainment. Hobos with squeaky wheeled shopping carts or holding canes they don’t need walking around talking quite loudly to themselves, it’s a lot of fun!!! Yes all the windows are barred! We have a total of five locks to get through before we can get into your house!

Our front room, with our $10 Love seat my Mom got us from someone in her ward! THANKS MOM!!! Otherwise we would be sitting on our kitchen table chairs trying to watch movies!!! Ohh Max looks kind of silly because he was getting up to see what I was doing outside, when I walked in and snapped this picture!


Lighting and Thunder like having a whole backward to pee and poo in. They love barking at Hobos almost as much as we like to watch them! One drawback, Thunder likes to howl when she hears police sirens, which I always thought was kind of cute, but now that we live downtown there are sirens going off all the time, 3 in the morining :(

Eating our first meal in our house, beanie weenies, and yes we are eating out of the same bowl!!! Scary looking I know keep in mind we had been movie and unpacking ALL DAY!!!

September 8^th our one month anniversary, when ever I complain that Max doesn’t ever buy me flowers he always says you never buy me the eatable bouquets. So I thought I would be cute and get him one for our anniversary… I know it’s kind of lame, but I thought it would be a good surprise. Max got home late from a movie he went to with my brother so when he got home I was in bed. I asked him to get me a drink of water, when he came back in he said, “Was I supposed to get you something?”

Max had nothing to add!

The Move!

The night before we left we went out to TGIF with some of Max and my’s friends.

Afterward Ian, Alison, and Telina came over to say bye. Don’t we have a cute niece and nephew.

The morning we left for New Mexico we had breakfast with Jessica and Kenna at Doug and Emmys Café. When we were ordering Jess asked “How big are the scones”? I replied “As big as your face.” She thought I was joking.

Our drive from Utah to New Mexico was pretty uneventful except for a man driving wrecklessly in front of us. We call 911 to report him but they were taking too long to get there so we helped to pull him over. We found out that the man was a diabetic and his blood sugar was low so I gave him some gum and Max called for an ambulance.

Oh... and when we were about 40 minutes from my parents house Max got pulled over for speeding. It was pretty funny because about 10 secs before he saw the cop's lights I said, "WOW Max, we are making pretty good time for pulling a trailer and having the dogs."

And now a word from Max... I agree
