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.

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.

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