The high Desert was magical, of course.


I got my bulb wrapped antlers, after all.


Ben strummed his guitar, I learned just how much I love shooting BB guns. (At cans, boots, and pine cones, of course)


I really loved it.


Nerdy boys made electronic music late into the night. Aided by more antlers.


Going out was forsaken in favor of LOTR Trivial Pursuit. 2 NIGHTS IN A ROW. (We won the second night, thankyouverymuch.)


I gathered sticks, as usual.


Ben carried them, as usual.

We hiked the desert.


We layed around in the desert.


And most importantly we schemed and dreamed about pooling together to buy a plot of high desert land. Preferably, rocky bouldery land.

  13. This is Olivia, I emailed you about getting married in J Tree :) We're going to do it!

    I love this.

  15. I just discovered your blog! Like you, my husband and I lived in the city and fell in love with the high desert. Then we chucked the good jobs, sold the city house and moved out here 5 years ago. Great people beautiful surroundings and can at times be very challenging! It's a different, kooky, fun, crazy adventure.
