Spring Break ‘08: Ruidoso, NM

Ruidoso, NM

The whole idea of going to Ruidoso for a long weekend was first brought up by Chris as a way to just get away from Lubbock for a few days and relax. I was then able to successfully secure us a cabin through one of Laura’s co-workers at the bank. Chris and Adriana drove out Friday night to get everything set up and I got out there around lunch time on Saturday after having breakfast with Katie before she left for Houston.

April (Snow) Showers…

Bring some freakin’ cold weather. Leave it to West Texas to have a white Easter instead of a white . On Saturday there was a little over two inches of snowfall in southern Lubbock with more accumulation in other parts. This was easily the latest in the year I have ever experienced , even outdoing 2003. Then it was April 1st or close to it I believe. I woke up to a nice blanket on the ground with it continuing ’til around lunch time, no this time, I figured I had enough of from this winter… so yeah, more in Lubbock helping to emphasize the coldest winter I’ve had in Texas so far.

Goin' down the mountain

I just got an e-mail from my brother with some pretty cool from a hike him and his other Brothers went on a week or two ago, who says a religious vocation isn’t fun?

Hey guys,
Last week we took an awesome hike/ sledding trip up into the mountains and found some awesome and sledding spots. This beat the tar out of the slush on the slope in the backyard! We busted out some crummy old plastic mats that did the trick. I attached a few so you can see it…the last one is solid gold…Bintang got a picture of me that makes me look like a pro, even though I’m really about to fall off and start rolling. Anyway, enjoy!
Love,
Br. Jesse

It’s Colder Than A…

More Snow

This is quite easily the coldest winter I’ve experienced since to Lubbock and most likely the coldest since I’ve moved to Texas, period, since 1991. I definitely have never seen this much . So here’s just another picture I took while walking to the office this morning. Please excuse the poor quality, it’s from my phone’s camera. Everybody stay warm and stay safe.

All this last week the various weather pundits had been predicting in excess of 10 inches of for our area, grocery store shelves were being pilfered, and everyone was in general disarray in anticipation of the drastic weather on the horizon.
