Disney, Sea World, Hodge Podge

I'm trying to get more of our "old" pics onto the computer. Here are a few I uploaded today.









TJ and Sam at a Gunston Elementary function





All of us in D.C.


The last trip we took to Disney. I was so sick and taking DayQuil because I was determined to enjoy myself! :) It was in the 90's, so was very very hot.



Theron and me camping with my brother and SanDee when they came to visit us in NM.




Another time going over Splash Mountain! I love that ride! Jo and Michelle came with us that day.


One of our neighborhood Halloween parties in the Marguys' garage! We had such a great neighborhood back then!

Flashback to New Mexico

These are pictures Theron took for me this week while he is in New Mexico and Texas. They won't mean anything to anyone but us, but I wanted to put them on here for those of you who visited us when we lived there. It was quite a change from the beaches of Sarasota for a young 21 year old newlywed. We lived in a 2 bedroom trailer on the top of this mountain. The Lincoln National Forest was our backyard. We cut down our first Christmas tree from our landlord's 70+ acres. We used to go driving up the mountain in the truck with a big light to find deer. haha It really was a beautiful place. Thanks, Theron, for taking me down memory lane! You're the best! Near our turn off
Up the road toward our house


The entrance to our driveway

Down the road from our old house


So pretty!


Going down the mountain toward White Sands


The turn off of the highway to our road...it used to be a dirt road, but now, 24 years later, it's paved.


The litte country store near the house


Home Sweet Home High Rolls, NM Elevation 6750!


The tunnel on the way to our house

Part of the Sacremento mountains, in the middle is the tunnel in a previous picture


Heading up the mountain



The White Sands Mall where I was an Asst Manager



A church we attended when the twins were babies

We came when it was just starting up. So glad to see it's still there.


Looking across the Tularosa Basin from White Sands Missle Range HQ


White Sands... we used to go there for picnics, watch movies projected on the sands, and Theron saved a young boy's live there once! He was lost in the park, and Theron was the helicopter that found him. I'll post the Army Times article soon.

Looking across the Tularosa Basin toward Alamogordo, from from White Sands Missle Range HQ.

So pretty! This is the mountain range near Las Cruces at the end of the Sands.

Feb 2010 The Big Snow

Most of these were taken the 2nd day of the storm. The first day it mainly sleeted. We had some snow before bed...maybe 8 inches? Two doves trying to get warm on our deck
Looking out the front porch Fri evening

I opened the door to the deck and found this. It scared me so much I didn't realize there were no footprints in the snow. TJ had done it to trick me! It worked!


Our trees with the burden of lots of snow



I think this was 10 inches...it ended up being just at 17 inches of snow and ice.

Even more snow

The Highlander



The RAV4

A new snowdrift on top of an old one
