New Mexico, July 4th

First off, kudos and thank you to everyone who still cares to follow my "lil ol' lafe" (imagine it with a Southern twang). I have not been posting that much because it has been a hectic couple of months! 

I've moved out of my old apartment, and have been busy hanging out on the weekends. I also got a gym membership, and although it feels GREAT to be working out again, it's a lot more time consuming than I remembered it to be. 

I went to New Mexico a couple weeks ago! Why? Why not. A couple friends and I took a 3-day weekend to spend time in what is surprisingly a very historical and not-surprisingly a very beautiful state. We also ate lots of Mexican food. 

Thoughts on the trip? It was a great 3-day trip, but I think anything more would've gotten a little bit tiring (clay pueblos are clay pueblos are clay pueblos...) Nonetheless, I thought it was a perfect vacation and a great opportunity to just do a little escaping!

After that mini-vacation was over, it was just in time to celebrate the 4th of July! Although Colorado Springs has a "no fireworks" policy, going out of the city isn't too difficult. I got to watch a fireworks show the day before, and on the 4th I spent it at a coworker's house. This was my first time taking pictures of fireworks and practicing light photography!

All in all, it's been a fantastic summer so far. I can't wait for more summer adventures!
