Our first full day in NM was filled with trying new things. Since it had been a long time (years) since I had visited the area, there were a lot of things I wanted to do and see during our recent visit. I was also in my very early twenties on my last visit and am now in my late twenties, so I (and my interests) have changed a lot and I wanted to see and do things that my parents weren't necessarily going to take me to do when I was a kid! Things such as...
Gambling! And horse racing! Haha.
After lots of LIFE happening for the past couple of years, I'm back ya'll! I am looking forward to writing a bit about some of the experiences I have lived recently, but until that post gets fleshed out, how about some photos of a recent trip?!?!

| Caught in a tourist trap |
We (Me and the Mr.) joined my family on a trip to New Mexico for the New Year to visit my dad's familia. I hadn't been since 2007, so I was super excited to be back to explore the area that I had told Eddie so much about. I just hoped it would live up to my stories! Since this side of my family lives so far away, Eddie had only just recently met a couple of them at our wedding. He was definitely looking forward to seeing me, my dad, and my family all interact with one another on my dad's home turf. (Side note- Eddie was a psychology major, so he loves that sort of stuff. Seeing how people interact and how it influences their personalities and who they are.) I have very fond memories of spending summers in the Las Cruces, NM/El Paso, TX area as well as a New Year's Eve here and there, made even more fun since Jan. 1st is my dad's birthday.
