My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

We Are Celebrating Tonight!

last year
last modified: last year





A special celebratory day for us! After dating for about 1 1/2 years while DH was doing his medical school internship in Michigan, he graduated and accepted a position as a family practice physician in Albuquerque. That October he invited me to come out and see New Mexico. We had a hospital staff Halloween party to go to then, so Mom and I designed and made Merlin and Morgana’s costumes for us both. It was wonderful to see my love again, to see some of this beautiful New Mexico, and to attend the party. Our costumes were a great hit! Mom and I had made a great silver skull cap for him and he glued on a very realistic dark beard on piece by piece. a good disguise as he had light blond hair! Later that evening, he proposed and, of course, I said ”Yes”! So, Halloween has always been a very special night for us. Now 42 years ago.
