New Mexico and Beyond!

Continuing on our trip. This is...somewhere in New Mexico. I like pictures of mountain-y things. Enjoy.
Love the colors in this photo.


Big Rocks. We saw lots of them.

Home!

I love this shot. It will someday go on my wall.
Then we saw this. Its a fire rainbow. Which is pretty cool. When my husband and I started our relationship it was a complicated decision for us. We took comfort in the fact that when we decided to date, there was a rainbow that day. Now as we are entering our new life in a land we aren't used to. It was nothing but good signs to see this. And it was stinkin' cool.

We would have slept here! If it were night time. Or we were tired. Alas it was the middle ofthe day.

Love patriotism. Love Old Glory.
The cat. In a very weird position.
This was the beggining of my heart attack. I forgot about this part of the drive. It was not fun in a 16ft truck towing a Wrangler. Not fun at all. The husband was driving. I was dying. (In case you haven't drivin it, this is the route from Flagstaff to Phoenix. You drop a few thousand feet along the way. Boo!)
My doom! Our truck could not handle these mountains.

Conversation after seeing the first of these:
A: Look a cactus!

E: Ooooo

A: Does this mean we can go back now?

E: Yep. I've seen what I came for, let's go home.

OH MY GOSH this was SCARY! All the sudden we were assaulted by hundreds of...BEES! I want to know who the heck threw BEES at us?
Not 1 minute before we had seen a sign "Big Bug Creek" about 2 minutes after we saw "Dry Beaver Creek" What next? Hundreds of beavers?!?!?!

Frickin BEES!

(that's BEE guts all over our windshield)
The sun.
Dust!
And that's about it for pictures of our trip. Next will be some pics from our hotels. And then some of our apartment complex.

I killed bee with my car windshield last week. It was just one bee, but it left a HUGE yellow smudge right in front of me. One was scary enough, I can't imagine a swarm!

The rainbow was one of the first signs God used for us people. Its a good sign.

Love you guys!
