Well after two and a half years of sitting at a desk Mon-Fri in a poorly lit room, I finally get some outdoor time!
This week I started observation on the drilling of a water well. This is also the first time that I've be on a project that also directly corresponds to something that I studied in college. I have been having to work more hours than usual, but it is still a welcome change.

Home Owner
Well Carlos and I are now officially homeowners! (well mostly)
We had the closing for our home on Friday evening. We were not informed until the closing that the owner before the previous owner still needs to sign a quitclaim deed. So... as soon as that gets done then we will be officially homeowners!
The rest of our weekend went well. We played games with some friends on Friday after the closing.
Oh yeah! So this is sort of embarrasing... we barely finished writing out and sending thank you cards on Saturday for our wedding gifts. I figure better late than never... right???
The rest of the weekend consisted of workouts (running, step aerobics, and Tai Chi), laundry, and relaxing with my sweety!

Oct-Jan updates
So... what all has happened since the we went camping back in September '09?
Plenty to keep me busy. One of my friends and I decided to have a Halloween party. It went really well. Carlos and I went as Indians. He was actually Native American, and I went as an actual Indian.
Now that Carlos and I are married, we are at that point where we will be juggling the families during the holidays. This year we spent Thanksgiving with Carlos' family in Albuquerque. Then we spent Christmas with my family in Carlsbad. The holidays were, of course, very wonderful!
This past weekend I worked a retreat (it is called a Chrysalis Journey). It was very tiring, but very wonderful as well. It is always rewarding to work these weekends, although I do return home more than exhausted. Luckily I was able to take an extra day off of work to recover!
Well, that covers most of the larger events. Once again... hopefully I will update this more often in order to provide more insight into the Life of Amber.
