Sometimes and Forever

It's a poor excuse to some, but completely legit to me: life is too full (for me) to regularly update this blog. So many people do it, even folks with busier lives. Of course, I find the time to read other people's blogs...but, I digress. Life is good and full and I wouldn't have it any other way. So allow me to offer a quick update of what we've been up to since November...really, November? Yea, I think it's been that long.

December was spent readying for the holidays and a trip to Pittsburgh to spend Christmas with family. We had an awesome time...lots of fun, food, laughs and love. The new year rolled in like a tidal wave and we've been riding it ever since! Keenan and I *both* started school (well, he's been in school....I just started). We moved back into town...thank god! Oh, and did I mention we're running a business? It's been a balancing act, for sure, but somehow we do and we do it all together.

There's a bit of travel built into our work this year, which is turning out to be fun for all of us. A few days in L.A. for the Natural Foods Expo offered some much needed beach time. A trip to southern New Mexico really opened our eyes up to the expansiveness and intensity of New Mexico's landscape. Next weekend we'll be in Colorado...yay! We're really looking forward to that one...it's been a while since we've made it that far north and I'm jonsing for a Colorado fix!

Our dear friends Jeffree, Dione and Ruby came to stay with us for a few weeks and their recent departure was bittersweet. As always, we had a great time while they were here. Day trips to Taos, Tent Rocks, Santa Fe National Forest; the Farmer's Market; long talks over breakfast/lunch/dinner; sweet babes making us laugh (sometimes making us crazy!). All in all, a great visit and a reminder of the importance of surrounding ourselves with a supportive and loving community.

We're looking forward to more visitors in the coming months...a few trips of our own...some friends returning to Santa Fe...and a beautiful, adventure filled New Mexican summer. We're in the process of deciding on summer school, but I really think camping/adventuring is going to win over that one!

Here's quick photo recap. Enjoy!
