Out in the west Texas town of El Paso, I fell in love with a Mexican girl.

We drove down to El Paso on December 1st, to visit my uncle Ryan before he deployed and help him pack up all the things we were taking with us to store while he's gone.
And now, a few snippets from the trip
And so begins our invasion of The Lone Star state
Mountains residing somewhere in Texas or southern New Mexico, not quite sure, but I'm gonna pretend they're Texas mountains so I can put them in this post
Real live Texas tree! From the Texas visitor center
Another Texas tree! This one lives on base near the cafeteria
Yucca plants 
Aztec caves and posers
And I will leave you with this adorable and slightly sad-countenanced bear from the El Paso Zoo

Some of my favorite pictures of mine have a big old blur smack dab in the middle of all the almost-perfection. Grrr.
