Let's be honest

It's Our Anniversary!

Look what 4 years of marriage has done for us!

(Thanks, J.)

Our Dream Home- FOR REAL!

This is our floor plan of the house we are going to have built. It's so sweet, I can't even describe how excited we are.

Here are some pictures of the model home with this floor plan:

This is the outside. This is the flat tile elevation, but we are going to get the barrel tile elevation. I don't believe we'll plant the palm tree in the middle of the driveway.


That's right- this is TRULY a 2 car garage!







Count them- two sinks. Also, not pictured- our walk-in closet. It's like half the size of the room we live in now.









This is the kitchen.

Having a great summer!

Alejandro and I have been having so much fun hanging out this summer. We go on walks to the park, eat together, play with cars and trains, and whatever else we feel like doing! This week we all started swim lessons. Marcelo usually bikes to the pool from work and meets us there in the evenings. It's a parent-toddler class, so we can all get in the pool together. AJ loves the "agua" so much. He's like a fish. He's learned to kick his feet and paddle his arms at the same time, go under water, splash, float on his back (with help), and blow bubbles. The other parents in the class thought that we must have a pool at home because he's not afraid and has so much fun. Next week, I'll try to bring our camera so we can post a picture of our swim pro.

Not our dream home!

You all have now seen the pictures of the house we put a bid on....
Well, after the inspection, there were some things we were not too happy about-it needs a new roof, it needs a new swamp cooler, some of the outlets were not grounded, the vent from the washer was not in code, there was not a return on the washer, AND because of the placement of the washer and dryer, it was just a one car garage. Long story short, we are getting out of there.

We are considering building a new home. More news to come.

Zoo Fun

Yesterday we went to the Albuquerque Zoo. We bought a Biopark pass, so we can go to the zoo, aquarium, and botanic gardens as much as we want all year. We took AJ to the zoo last summer, but we think he had a lot more fun this year.

Here's Alejandro and Marcelo checking out the sea lions.

Look at the bears!


After such a fun time at the zoo, it was time to go home to take a nap.
