ינואר 2012

The sun rises above the vast expansion of desert. Today is a very special day for this stretch of land. Today is the day this becomes the 47th state of the United states. January 6, 1912.

How quickly a century rolls by.

Now it is 2012 and the sun rises over a vast expansion of desert once again. Although there are homes, businesses and Lots of people, this is still essentially the Land of Enchantment it was 100 years ago. Dreams of those that were on hand 100 years ago, have been realized and new dreams exist. Families continue grow and thrive. Children laugh and play under the warm New Mexico Sun.

100 years old and still a beautiful, thriving state.

We have a rich history that includes colorful characters and world changing events that remind us of the diversity of not only our state but the world. Our future is just as bright. Plans to continue making world news and I am sure more colorful characters, but that is part of who we are. New Mexicans one and all. Happy Birthday New Mexico

Some of our best, brightest and most vocal are on the trip of a lifetime.
At the Tuesday night City Council we got a taste of the performance that awarded the Carlsbad High School Choir students the opportunity of a lifetime. A trip to New York City to sing at Carnegie Hall
These kids have not only were picked for the group but also worked hard to raise the money that each student needed to make the trip. They will spend 2 days in rehearsal, have the concert on Sunday night and then be able to sight see on Monday before returning home.
From the performance that was given on Tuesday night all of Carlsbad should be proud of these kids. They have worked hard and are a wonderful representation of what the youth of Carlsbad has to offer. Photos
