Rain, rain...

After almost 120 days (118, to be exact)... rain is finally falling in El Paso. It's our first rain since moving here last October. I find this moment pretty funny (in an ironic sense) because it's raining in the desert... while back home in New Orleans our families have been suffering drought conditions. (Well, probably not drought conditions by Texas standards, but drought conditions for New Orleaneans is just going any longer than a couple of weeks without rain. In this case, it hasn't rained in a month.) I hope it rains at least once while we're home visiting. Even a desert rainfall doesn't compare to a Louisiana downpour.
