5 awesome things for the week

1. My new nephew: Finnegan. Born March 5th at 11:11pm. 7 lbs 2 ounces. Apparently he is here on a mission for Justice, Ass-Kicking, and making his folks proud. I'm going to buy him a T-shirt that says "I just made poo"



2. a ten day forecast with highs from 66°F to 72°F. i think i'm hiking in the mountains this weekend.

3. the cubano sandwich with apple slaw at relish. i had one yesterday for lunch and only sheer willpower is keeping me from going back to have another today. it's joey tribiani heaven in that place. best sandwiches in the city.

4. driving at night through the heights and being able to see the whole city. <

5. rediscovering my hometown. everyone should try it.

i made it

we got into albuquerque on saturday. still looking for a house. i actually found the house i wanted on saturday, but by tuesday, it was sold. DOH! anyways here's some pics:

most of southern illinois looks just like this:


st. louis


these signs are all along the highway in oklahoma. i have no clue what they mean. if anyone has the answer, please let me know.


one should not try to take photos of the moon while driving. danger! danger!


joshua never believes me that it snows in nm. i thought i left illinois to get away from this.


once we got over the mountains it was all bright and sunny. it's been in the 60's all week. woohay!
