Doggos in action.

Doggos in action. I think they like it here - especially in the evening. 😊 We came out this morning to play with them and it was in the 50s, but super duper sunny. I was pretty surprised!

We have someone coming this weekend to teach us how to tame / care for our yard. We don't know anything about the native plants (or the non-native ones that are planted back here and running up our water bill with irrigation). 😂😂😂 We gotta learn. I'm excited.

Sneaky peek behind the gate of the Sandia Mountains. They are gorgeous all day but absolutely stunning at sunset. I'll try to get a photo of them soon but I know I could never do them justice.

The sunsets here are insane.

The sunsets here are insane. This photo was taken with my cell (completely unedited - not even cropped).

I need to learn about the plants out here and how to care for them. I need a shade for my potted plants because the sun is intense out here. No care needed for the fake grass - we're all THRILLED to check "mowing the lawn" off of our to-do lists forever.

We're still a mess, but it's coming along!

It's a sunny, breezy 80°F here and it's COMFORTABLE outside. Maybe it's a good day for yard work. 🙂 Happy Monday from the Land of Enchantment!

Things are coming along.

Things are coming along. It's much easier for some of us to settle in than others. 😂😂😂 Oh, to be a cat. 😝

I promise to respond to everyone soon. We're finally catching our breath, thank goodness. ❤️

Good morning from Albuquerque.

Good morning from Albuquerque.

Last night was our first night together in our new home as a family after an exhausting 2-day drive. Shaun and Shadow piloted / co-piloted the U-Haul (which for some reason didn't have cruise control, poor Shaun!) and Kira and I drove a van full of ani-pals (including Rose) who were shockingly well-behaved.

We have a lot of unpacking to do. We have to return the U-Haul and the rental van. We have to get settled in. I haven't said much on social media in a bit because we've been so busy for months. We're all so tired. But we made it. We're here. We did it.

I love you all and will respond to your comments soon, I promise. I am overwhelmed by all of the love and support. ❤️❤️❤️ I just need to finish the urgent stuff and catch my breath.

I can't believe this is my life now. I feel so at home and it feels so right. I'm having all of the feelings this morning. 😭😭😭

New home, who dis?
