It's late so we think we're funny

Alright, so it may only be midnight....but when your child only let you have 3 hours of sleep the night before....EVERYTHING is funny!!!

THE 5 BEST AND WORST REASONS TO LIVE IN THE BURQUE! (albuquerque for you gringos)

WORST -

  1. Old ladies will drop the f-bomb frequently.
  2. If it snows a quarter of a inch schools close, Lowes runs out of snow shovels and salt, and it has all melted by noon.
  3. Strangers will knock on your door in the middle of the night and ask you for cheese, then get mad when you say, "No, cheese is expensive, but i have an orange."
  4. You will get robbed your first week of living here. (If the person who stole my bike is reading this, can i please have it back...not that I'm unhappy with my used Panasonic bike swap steal? Seriously, they make bikes.)
  5. No matter what neighborhood you live in someone will get murdered on your street! Trust us, we have experinced this twice (hence why the bike theft goes unchecked).

BEST -

  1. Great bike trails....so we have heard.
  2. The food is unique and amazing. If you ever visit, you must try the GREEN CHILE. The state question is red or green, always go with green!
  3. The ballon fiesta. Google it.
  4. Julia Roberts and Val Kilmer live in the next town over!!!!
  5. This one is obvious. They filmed WILD HOGS here! We're hoping the sequel makes it back to the Burque!

So, if you're planning a visit or are lucky enough to move here, we hope our little glimpse into Albuquerque life will help!

Why our page sucks

We know, the page looks lame right now. Ian and I are totally useless when it comes to computers apparently! We were both really proud that we didn't jump aboard My Space and Facebook (except to spy on people, cause we ARE that cool), but now we don't know how to do anything. So this blog will be under construction for a while.....
Sterling is still recovering from a DOUBLE ear infection (her first one). She's been a trooper throughout it all though, and is still very bouncy and happy. We were all a little upset when we got her antibiotics and thought we had mistakenly been given a bottle of glue. It had the same consistency and even smelled like it! Ian and I had to wrestle with her to get her to take it...so awful! I know it was traumatic for her too because Ian saw her giving her teddy bear "medicine" and she was holding its forehead down....
Its been a rough week, but Ian made it all better by going to Hastings! He was a little embarassed by the purchases he made, I don't know why...he just bought the new Eragon book (it's about dragons) and he bought me Breaking Dawn (the teen vampire love series)! Nerdy, party of two.
Well, we start nursing school on Monday....so it really might take a while for our blog to look amazing...
And I can't find the cord to upload pictures from my camera!!!!!
And that is why our page sucks.
