I just got back last night from 6 wonderful days in NM. Josh was on a research trip and missed out on all the fun. The main reason for the trip was a friend's wedding, but we also celebrated a belated Mother's Day. Here's a breakdown of my trip:
Thursday- drove to NM, dinner with Mom, evening at home
Friday- Picked up my brother at the airport- a total surprise to Mom!! We had been planning this for a few weeks and were so excited to pull it off. We ran a couple of errands, relaxed most of the day, then had dinner and a family walk.
Saturday- breakfast out with a few girlfriends, back home to relax, then a super fun western wedding
Sunday- church, lunch at Dion's, trip to cemetery, more relaxing
Monday- brother back to airport then I spent the whole day with my dear friend Becca and her daughter Bailey. I attended my first Gymboree class and enjoyed sweet songs from a 2-year-old as we drove around town. We also met our friend, Kendra, at Dion's for lunch. (Yes, I ate there 2 days in a row- it's that good!)
Tuesday- a little shopping with Mom then I blew home in a cloud of brown dust
A bunch of pics from the trip:
