I just read my friend Joy's post about how time flies and I couldn't agree more. I can hardly believe it is already late May! We have been having a lot of fun this year, but sometimes I wonder if we are staying TOO busy. Lately we have been:
Climbing: We have gotten back into rock climbing since we moved to ABQ and we have been happy to discover numerous outdoor climbing spots within a 2 hour radius of ABQ. As an added bonus, my upper body is the strongest it's ever been :).
Running: Micah and I both entered a lottery to run in the La Luz Trail Run (9 miles up a trail to the Sandia Crest in ABQ). We were both selected to run the race so we have been spending time running on the trails, which are actually only about a mile from our new house! I have never been much of a trail runner since I easily turn my ankles and going up is just hard, but I am actually having a lot of fun with it. The race is August 7 so we need to get in a lot of good training between now and then!
Settling In: We are 99% moved into our new place. We really love the location and the house suits us much better than the house we were in for our first six months in ABQ.
WFR Course: Micah and I both signed up for a Wilderness First Responder course. I am still a bit apprehensive as we have to go to class Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00-9:00 p.m. for the next six weeks, plus attend three day long Saturday sessions, but so far I have been learning a lot. Yesterday we learned how to take each other's blood pressure, this weekend we will be learning splinting, and eventually we will even learn how to deliver a baby in case of emergency! The course is intense, but I think we will both feel safer in the wilderness after we have proper training.
Celebrating Micah's Birthday: Okay, this hasn't actually taken as much time as the other things we have been doing, but Micah's 29th birthday was this past Monday. He doesn't really like to celebrate his birthday, but I decided it would be a great excuse to have new friends over to the house. On Sunday evening we grilled and enjoyed great company! Crazy that I have been around for 13 of Micah's birthdays! That makes us feel like we are getting old...
We are really enjoying life in ABQ. We have been blessed with jobs, great friends, a good church, and mountains in close proximity so that we can get out and enjoy the activities that we love.
