Friday night we packed up ourselves and the puppy and headed to the airport. We got into Albuquerque at about 7:30pm and went straight to get some much needed Mexican food. Can you say green chile overload, because that is what this weekend was.
A month ago the boyfriend of one of my best friends, Carin came to all of us and said he had a great idea for how to propose but needed some help from us and wanted us heavily involved in the big day. So Saturday morning I hung out with family, had a birthday lunch for my mom then headed out for shopping to get Carin a new outfit for her big night (while I was at my moms birthday lunch they also took her to get her nails done and to lunch) then we headed to get ready and put the plan into action.
Throughout the whole day of activities she had no idea what was going on which was great. We dropped her off at the right time, looking great in fresh nails and a new outfit and let her new fiancé take over with a beautiful proposal. Then we headed back to her parents house to set up for a celebratory party. In addition to playing part in our friends proposal this was the first time all 5 of the best friends have been all together in a year in a half so we were loving every second. Although it only seemed like a few seconds since it all went by so quickly, I miss them already.
Sunday we spent some more time with family before getting ready for our long awaited engagement photo session. We choose to take our pictures down by the river at the Albuquerque Bosque and we were so glad we did. The trees were changing colors so the scene was beautiful and according to our photographers we had amazing light. We had a blast trekking though the weeds and brush to find the perfect picture locations. We were so thrilled with the few pictures they showed us on the back of the camera and cant wait to get the finals back. I don't know how we will wait two whole weeks to see them! Monday our last and final day in New Mexico was dedicated to some wedding planning since we feel like we have gotten so little done up to this point. It started with a meeting with a local décor and event planning company to learn more about their services and decide if they would be someone we would be interested in using for the big day. Then we headed out to our venue for a menu tasting. Our venue is kinda far out of town but it feels like another world. It is insanely beautiful and I fell even more in love with it on this visit.
Each day there went by in a flash and I cant believe we are already back to Dallas and back to work and reality. I didn't even get the chance to do everything I wanted to while at home or see everyone I had hoped. Sometimes these trips get tough since we never stop moving the whole time but I love going home and cant wait until the next trip!
Happy Tuesday Everyone!!
