New Mexico, July 2010

So, it’s been over two weeks since I was in New Mexico, but I can backtrack and point out some highlights about the trip! 

I was originally supposed to go to Canada to see Rob, but given circumstances, it was decided that it would not be a good idea to go up there.  Since I already had a week off work, I decided to go down to New Mexico.  Here are some highlights!

•  Great gas mileage on Gabby’s car (excluding when I drove in D3 and wasted half a tank of gas in 90 miles) – I only had to fill up three times, and it was awesome!  I also made Adrian and Jason help me clean it.  SLAVE LABOR!
• Dog Park – I’ve never been to one, but we went a couple times while I was there.  It’s really not what I expected at all, and I hope to start Ginny to one in Salt Lake soon!
• Glee – I watched all of “The Road to Sectionals” and it was excellent!
• Hair Cut – I got my hair cut, and it made me happy inside.
• 4 Dogs – While I was there, Daisy and Ramses were dog sitting Eric’s dog, Patton.  She’s a cutie, although sometimes she seems to be dumber than a brick.  Her head is about as hard as one too.   So, the four dogs that were there were Pepe, Darla, Winky and Patton.  I wish I could have taken Ginny with me, but it would have been too many haha.
•  Barbecue – We ended up barbecuing 2 or 3 of the nights I was there, and oh my goodness, it was great!
• Dad and Mary – I got to see Dad and Mary a little bit while I was there, and it was fun.  I got to drive Dad’s Explorer around, which was interesting because 1.  I’m not used to New Mexico drivers, and 2.  I’m not used to an Explorer.  It was super fun though, and now I have my own (at least for now, but the exhaust is smoking and so we’ll see what happens).  The only bummer is that Mary got her wisdom teeth removed and she wasn’t feeling too hot.
• Dion’s Pizza – Daisy and Ramses treated me to Dion’s before I left, and it was sooooo good!  I really really wish that Dion's would extend up to Utah, because it is possibly my favorite pizza on the entire planet.
• Shopping with Daisy – we got to go shopping, and it was nice not only to shop, but to spend time with Daisy too.  We shopped for Baby Shower decorations for Gabby’s baby shower, for food, and for random stuff in general.  It was nice to be able to go out and just spend time together.  I was afraid that a lot of the time, she would be working, and we wouldn’t get too much time with just the two of so we could just blabber on, but we did, and I enjoyed it a lot.
• Seeing Leanna – I haven’t seen Leanna (Daisy’s best friend) and Caleb since I was in High School!  It was great to see her, along with her family.  She has adorable kids, and I hadn’t met three of them before this trip.  We had good food, and a great time.  I hope she is feeling better now!

Well, that’s all I can think of off the top of my head!  If I think of more stuff, I will definitely add it!
