Out and about around the condo

So tonight after dinner Jack and I went for a walk down through our "neighborhood" (it's only one street of condos) and down the road through another neighborhood. While we were out walking we saw a biker and then another guy who looked like he was walking into the high desert that's all behind where our condo sits. By behind, I don't mean like directly behind but more like the area alllll around the back of our condo, the area I got lost in the other day going for a hike. Anyways. So we started musing about where in the world he could be walking to. There is nothing behind us at all so we couldn't really figure out why he would be going that direction in the dark. Then Jack made an interesting suggestion, maybe he was headed towards the tent we saw set up back there the other day when we went trouncing out there with our camera! He sort of had this hippy-ish look to him and was carrying a pack with him. Who knows! Interesting thought. Anyways. I so enjoy where we live. You can see so many starts at night, we are way up on a hill so you can see the city lights down below, it's quiet and there are hardly any cars that pass by because we are on a dead end. It's great! Also, there are numerous sidewalks so it will make running easier (orrrr not easy because of the higher elevation, I get winded so quickly here! It's amazing! Need to get used to that).

The tent we found on our trek out back! It was nestled way back in there and couldn't been seen until we stumbled upon it.

The view from the hill behind our condo. Ours is the light tan/whitish one in the center of the picture

The condos just past our street. We have pretty views from our balcony out front.

The national cemetery across the highway from where we live.

our new camera takes really great action shots. go Jack!

I really like this dude.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Love our Charlie Brown tree :) and yes, that is green bubble wrap in Jack's present. You use what you got, right?!

Took my friend Rebecca's idea and am wanting to get ornaments from travel locations. We went here in October with Jack's family.

Another ornament :) Had a blast this past summer at OIB :)
