The First Six Months

Time Flies..

As I look back on this year, with the 4th of July just around the corner, I confess that 2017 has been a mild, mellow ride; I’ve celebrated wonderfully unforgettable moments but have also traveled far less than I normally do. This is a travel year for so many people, but for my family, it has been a year of healing and feathering the nest.

Adjusting to a new neighborhood in a new state...

But things are coming together, bit by bit.

Life has a funny way of doling out surprises — one day is never like another. Some days I feel as though I’m resting atop a beautiful  mountain and others I am sitting at its bottom, the only view uphill. Work has been changing for me, evolving and growing, which is great, but it is taking more and more of my time.

It's been a lot of late nights and early mornings.

Don't misunderstand, I’m grateful and truly blessed.  My family is healthy, happy and I’m doing what I love, but travel is taking a back seat. I’ve cancelled or postponed more trips than I have completed this year. But I did manage to go to Iceland and visit a couple of favorite spots so far.

Iceland was amazing!

Nature and city life existing well together.

Since I haven't left New Mexico much this year, most of my time has been spent learning more about the area via short day trips and weekend road trips. There are many cool parks, nature areas and events close by.

There is a lot to see and do in New Mexico!

Plus I'm tired and just wanna sleep, lol

I almost forgot... I did manage to squeeze some time out for fun in New York.  Read about some of those adventures here. 

I think next year will see us traveling much more and I know 2019 we will be leaving for Asia and MAJOR adventures there. #Excited  So this time in New Mexico is much needed as we plan the trip and work out the details. 

I cannot wait to see what the next 6 months bring! 

See you at the airport~
