Longest Date Ever!

 The house we were going to rent was a mess...the copper wiring had been stolen out of it. So we got out of our contract with that property management company and started our internet search for a new home. Brad started looking out in Edgewood, which is 30 minutes from downtown ABQ. Once we found several houses to go look at I made appointments and we asked Tia and Ashley if they would watch our kids for 2 days while we were house hunting. This is the first time we'd been away from the kids for more than 4 hours since Ruth was born...7 years ago. So we had a BLAST! We stayed at a swanky hotel downtown, ate out, ran to meetings and looked at several houses. We also had time to just be goofy together and really enjoy each other; it was so refreshing and exactly what the two of us needed during this stressful time.

This is the backyard of our house!

 It's out in the country so it was bustling with wildlife. While we were there, less than 30 minutes, we saw 2 rabbits, a lizard, several grasshoppers and a stick bug! The best part of our house is that we have an AMAZING property manager. She is the owner of Mazzola Inc. and is so helpful and full of information on this area. She is world's apart from the big property management companies that treat you like a number.

Thank you Ashley and Tia for keeping our kids safe and happy while we were away!
