Home Sweet Albuquerque

So I went to Albuquerque this weekend to find an apartment for Tyler and I to live in when we move there in December. I have been praying a lot about this move and whether or not it is the right place for us. I was hoping that after this trip I would feel peaceful about our decision to move to New Mexico-Sure enough God has given me peace about our move and I am extremely happy! Tyler's mom picked me up on Wednesday night and after four crazy days of going all over the place I have found an apartment that I LOVE, a great church, potential furniture, paint colors and awesome shops and restaurants to eat at when we move here. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about living here after this weekend but I can honestly say that I am now actually looking forward to living in Albuquerque. The apartment that we will be living in has a view of the Sandia Mountains out one window and a big beautiful golf course on the other. We also discovered a shopping center that has a Pottery Barn, Mac, White House Black Market and some other great stores. The pictures I am posting are of us at the top of the Sandia Mountain and a couple of pics of the model apartment where we will be living in December....!
Big Garden Tubs!

So Thankful :)

I recently drove from Atlanta, GA up to Virginia with Tyler on his way to Ft. Eustis where he will finish up his training. We had a blast together and got to see so many neat things & places. I missed him before I had even left because I knew what it was going to be like after the trip was over. So I cherished every moment and left appreciating my husband more than ever. Everyone who knows Tyler can attest that he is a wonderful selfless guy. He would do anything for anybody and never expects anything back. Just the unselfish act of joining the national guard can vouch for that. He (along with a lot of his friends) are in the military and sacrifice so many normal everyday things to be a part of something that is bigger than they are. I do not understand how these guys do what they do but I am in awe! I was also reaffirmed as I have been a zillion times before that Tyler is absolutely the perfect guy that God picked out and made just for me. He is my best friend, someone I never get tired of being around and am so excited about our future together. He is amazing, that's just all there is to it! Here are some pics of Georgia, Virginia and Washington D.C....it was all so historical and I learned so many things that I never did from a classroom.
