Today (well yesterday now) was the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta and it was just AMAZING!
Of course the 3:00 A.M. wake up call was less desirable but it was completely worth it! I mean just being there way before the sun rises and experiencing the air balloons starting their journey into the air, magical!
Correction: NOPE, did not sleep at all until now (2AM Sunday) from Friday night and was late to the festival so didn't really see the ascension which is the first balloons to be released at the break of dawn. But they did hold the rest of the air balloons due to minimal wind, so when we got there, the wind started to pick up and we did get there in time to see, personally, the balloons being released.

Just close your eyes and imagine all hot air balloons, in so many colors, just floating in the sky along with the sunrise. How gorgeous does that sound? Maybe as gorgeous as a sunrise or sunset in Maui? What about Fiji? Or Philippines? Basically, every dream vacation I have.
It kind of makes you think of life and where it's going at the moment. Basically, you pretty much think about every deep thing available in your mind. I didn't really mind, I kind of needed that anyway.
But seriously, I wish y'all were there to see it! It was just amazing, the hot air balloons were so colorful and there were so many different shapes, there was Darth Vador and Yoda. There was also a puppy and spiderpig! It was really a great, great experience! If y'all did go, did y'all enjoy it???
Let's rewind a couple of hours back, specifically 8 hours back. I was just home getting ready and what not and basically just thought about how my life was going and what the heck I'm doing with it. With 4-6 hours on the road ahead of me, I had plenty of time to indulge in my fantasy world. A world in which I had life figured out and I knew what I wanted to do and definitely went for it. Yeahhh...that'll happen soon! Hopefully! I mean I'm working on it!!
"I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday." - Unknown
That quote right there couldn't be more true. I know I'm not at the position that I want to be in but I'm definitely getting there, slowly but surely!
ANYWAY, back to my journey on the road. I paused my daydreaming for a minute or 20 to stop by Walmart and finally get a vlog camera! Haaalleellujaahh!!
I mean it's definitely not the fanciest but it will do before I can afford a super tech, super expensive point and shoot. Let's count that it will take about 10 paydays. Please don't online shop anymore!!
Whoa! Did not realize how long this post is going, y'all are probably like, "Girl! Where's the pictures already?!?" Hold your horses, they are coming!
That concludes my deep, somewhat long post of the day. Here's the picture y'all been itching to see.
