Looking Back

Looking back, it's really weird to see when this blog started and how this adventure began. We celebrated our first three months of being here last week, and it's just so weird how time has flown by. Truly, I couldn't envision what this moment would look like or feel like, but it's been amazing just being somewhere else.

Apparently, we are in a true Indian Summer here, as I was informed this afternoon that we are currently experiencing record low levels of precipitation, in fact, this record goes back to something like the 1890's. Our averages show 1.54" in September, however, this past month we only clocked in at .4". That's pretty intense. From what I understand, October should see us having about 3.5" of rain, but so far, and on the forecast for the next 10 days, it's all nothing but sunshine. Low to mid 70's through the 11th... it feels funny to me to have brought the desert sun and dryness with us to the Pacific Northwest. Especially given that NM has had one of its wettest summers with the monsoons. I really feel like we've switched climates for a while.

But all that aside, we've been here a little over three months and it's still sinking in that this is our home. It's still funny to me that we're actually here. Two years of talking about it, wanting to do it, and here we are. It's amazing what just putting it out there does for planning, you know?
