So I haven't posted much as this has been a busy month so far with work and life. Trying to stay active at the gym , even though the scale hasn't moved I am still getting smaller. If I just cut out all the stupid junk I eat, I will be ok. Yesterday was a nice healthy day of eating, I will work day by day. I leave for Phoenix on Saturday to help my mom pack up her house and move. I will get a lot of cool stuff from that house. Lots of art and other awesome stuff. Lots of stuff my dad picked out and loved. I am excited even though it will be really hot. I know her last air bill will be high! She sold her house though which in this market is great. And made a little profit.
I am sad for her selling her house. Part of me wishes I would have stayed in Phoenix as I know she loved it there. I could have stayed there and lived in that beautiful house and that would have been fine. She wanted to be back in Washington though with my brother and sister and my nephew Jack. She promises to come visit a lot here but I think its really boring for her. If I didn't move I wouldn't have found my ranch in NM and saved the horses and dogs I have saved from death via slaughterhouse or pound. Too many memories of my dad there though and it will be hard packing up the house being that Sunday is Fathers Day. Life moves on though, and I know I made the right decision to move here. I will really only miss my Best Buddy Robin, other friends are just friends.
I will be in AZ for a week so probably won't post anything. Next weekend is my birthday weekend though and I am having a party at Grahams in Albuquerque, June 21st. Anyone local please come :) Should have lots new pictures to add as that weekend I am planning to get lots of riding and social events in.
Above is a picture of my mom's back yard in her Phoenix Home- So nice but time to move on. I love you Dad. Happy Fathers Day

Nice to see you on the blog :) I wish I could be there for your trip to AZ - it would have worked out perfectly, but oh well. I totally understand (and relate to) how a few of your heartstrings are still tied to AZ. There are still things I miss about it, but am so happy with where I am now. Just know that you wouldn't have your awesome set-up and life that you do in NM! Don't you sometimes wish you could just transplant your house and put it somewhere else? Maybe a tornado will pick it all up and set it down perfectly where you'd like it--like in The Wizard of Oz (or for you-- The Wiz.. haha).
Love you so much & also wish I could be there for your exciting bday! The baby and I will have a non-alcoholic drink with a toast in your name. :)
