GOODBYE HOBOS GOODBYE DOWNTOWN ALBUQUERQUE

Albuquerque, specifically the downtown and hobos have provided Max and I with an unforgettable first year of marriage. From having the trucks windshield smashed with a rock, aa HBO show filmed in our backyard, truck broken into/purse stolen, balloon fiesta, a sore Christmas in bed, a new nephew, finding ourselves in the middle of gun fire, acceptance to Pharm School, and exciting Missionary experiences downtown Albuquerque is the place to go if you need adventure/challenge/excitement in your life! Two weeks shy of living here for a year Max and I are saying Sayonara to the downtown life.


After receiving legal papers notifying us the house we've been renting is being foreclosed and sold to the bank July 30, Max and I packed our stuff, placed it in storage, and moved in with a co-worker/friends of mine Amanda. Amanda has a three bedroom house and lives alone with her two dogs. So Max and I are occupying a bedroom until we can buy our own house. We are hoping to be able to make an offer on a house next month.

I want to give a big shot out to my family!!! THANK YOU so much especially to my Dad to helping Max and I move our stuff in storage and help clean the house!

Eric Draper Photography

This morning on 770 KKOB, yes, I listen to talk radio. I'm my Mother's(and Father's) daughter!!! Bob Clark (who I really don't like but I need my news fix, it's hard to not have a TV) was interviewing Eric Draper a photographer based out of Albuquerque. Eric Draper also served as Special Assistant to the President and White House Photographer for President George W. Bush. Eric spoke about his time serving along side the President, we was there right along side the President on September 11, 2001, his pictures were the only documentations of who attended the meetings with the President that day, because it was so chaotic. He traveled with the President to meet with world leaders, spent time with the Bushes at their Texas Ranch. As I listen to Eric talk about his experiences in the White House, it seem to me he genuinely enjoyed his time with the President, so I decided to check out his website www.ericdraperphotography.com I really enjoyed looking through his pictures and so I share it with you!!!
