Well, it's official. We've traded in our buffalonian title for that of the New Mexicans. Actually, I don't think we'll be REALLY official until we get one of these:
A BIG truck. They are all over in these parts. In fact, I don't think I've seen a prius or camry since I've been here. This was the view from our front window on superbowl Sunday- 12 trucks and no cars, not one! It's quite the phenomenon. I guess it's a matter of time . . .
Royce, Jessica and baby Mayla came down and helped us move in. It was so great to have their help, but even more to have their company! Here's a glimpse of the inside of house we're renting. It's santa fe style, which is growing on me. Pretty soon I'm going to have a Kokopelli bumper sticker and an array of turquoise jewelry.
Ben took Dayton skiing. He was in love and wanted to go over and over again. I just finished telling him a bedtime story about the skiier, Dayton.
Now, here we are. Life has changed so quickly. We miss our Buffalo friends and memories. We've met some wonderful people and driven to beautiful places. We've made fellow cougar fans. In the morning it is sunny and at night time I can see the stars. I think we're going to like it here.

As for the rest of January, it was the best January of our married lives. On the 12th, Ben passed his anesthesia boards, which means no more school! We loved spending time with family and friends here in the west and hope to see you all more often. Here are some of the festivities:
My Grandpa Clingo turned 90! 
We went to the aquariam in Sandy. Dayton still is talking about the penguins.

Good luck establishing your life there!
Yay for being done with school! I look forward to that. The Benions are looking at a practice in NM. I think it's in the same city as you guys. We miss you guys around here!
i am glad you guys are all settled in!! ...don't fight the turquoise jewelry, just go ahead and give in right now...you know you love it! i think ben needs a turqoise belt buckle to go with his new big truck.
We miss you guys! Glad to hear you're getting settled in NM. Looking forward to more updates!
So glad the move is done! I'm sorry I didn't get to see you when you were here. I've been having some health problems due to having little Jace so this past month was horrible. I hope you come again and i would love to see you.
Wahoo!!! Glad you made it!
