10 Years in Los Alamos

At the beginning of the summer, we realized that we have been in Los Alamos for TEN YEARS! We closed on our first house here on June 28, 1999! Crazy! In those ten years, we have had a lot of experiences -- good and bad. We laughed at how simple our life was back then: hiking together, watching movies, going out for dinner in Santa Fe, living in 886 sq.ft with Bucky.

Everyday living is so much more complicated now, wonderfully hectic, eventful, and full of life. Since 1999, we have had three children, lost my mom, watched a forest fire, moved and remodeled our house, traveled to Alaska and Hawaii, spent many hours at our jobs, run/hiked/skied/biked/fished/played all over the Jemez mountains, ran marathons, visited family in WI, MN, AZ, camped in VWs, and made many wonderful friends who help us call Los Alamos home.

Unbelievable!

Maddie took this photo of Eric and I with our 10-year gifts from our jobs at LANL and the schools. He got new flatware and I got a little Nambe bowl.
