1996: We moved to Las Cruces.
1997: We moved to Albuquerque.

2010: Went to Florida twice this year, stayed at Animal Kingdom in Orlando then Tampa, played plenty of golf!
2011: Went up to Montana for a week doing a horse round up, very fun, very fast pace. Better than moving/branding cattle; if given the chance, you need to do this.
2012: Oldest daughter got married, oldest son got married; visited Cancun for a week, awesome golf courses!
2013: January - Still working full time but started college part-time, finally, feel like a grandpa in all my classes, hahaha, but that's okay, always time to learn new things. July - Had a second grandson born, Yay. December - Officially retired from law enforcement on the 13th, yes! Taking a few weeks off before school.
2014: January 06th, full time college student, starting over in a different field. February - we purchased a new horse for my wife to compete with in dressage. April - end of spring semester! August - graduated and now a CPhT and started a new job Sept. 29th!
Presently we own three horses, oldest horse and both rotties put down in 2013, so one dog and two cats.
Our family consists of three daughters, two sons.. Kids all out of the house except the youngest, it's okay, he helps with animals and stuff to do around the house, don't play as much golf anymore due to working all week now and I just play once a weekend but not complaining.
