New Mexico: This is Where I Came In

Fiesta de la Familia 2013, Immaculate Conception Church, Alamogordo, New Mexico

I was driving down First Street the other day when I saw it.

The big sign advertising the Fiesta de la Familia, the first weekend in October, hosted by the Immaculate Conception Church in Alamogordo.

First thought: Flash back to when I arrived in Alamogordo last September. What a happy feeling.

Second thought: I won't be in New Mexico the first weekend in October. What a bittersweet feeling.
