New Mexico, Utah, and Lots of Places in Between
So what do you do after a previous year filled with multiple surgeries and countless doctors visits? You take a much need 2 week vacation to visit family and friends! And that is just what I did...Only problem was Dave had to stay behind because he didn't have much time-off left after all those surgeries and doctors visits taking care of me! Here are all the details (along with a gazillion pictures and more to follow on additional posts)!
2 days in Albuquerque, NM
4 tennis matches watching my stud of a brother play
1 family pizza party with lots of cousins, aunts, and uncles
4 days in Farmington, NM
1 lunch date with an old friend
1 family BBQ
1 lunch date and furniture shopping excursion with my Grandma Jerry
1 visit with 4 family generations present
2 more tennis matches watching this guy...
1 photo shoot with my precious new cousin, Avery
1 New Mexico sunset (oh, how I miss them)
1 cuddle with Avery
7 days in Utah
2 trips to Cafe Rio (aka: a little piece of Heaven on earth)
1 Wedding, photographing my beautiful cousin Anna
250 spring filled flower beds on Temple Square
1 dinner at "The Garden" on temple square watching the sunset
4 miles (roughly) on a golf cart around Thanksgiving Point with this guy...
250,000 tulips (most had already died off )
15 or so good laughs watching my parents zip around on these...
3 day stay with my good friend Tarrin and her 2 precious kiddos
1 trip to Roosters (best margherita pizza, EVER)
1 more BBQ with friends from our old ward in Syracuse
All equate to countless memories to hold onto for a life time! Thanks to all the family and friends that made my visit so special and unforgettable!

























Wow. This made me homesick, and I'm not even from NM or UT. I'm so glad you got to go on that much-needed vacation! Looking forward to hearing / seeing more about it!
Oh man! I wish I'd still lived in Utah when you took this trip. It would've been great to see you!! Glad you had a good time! The pictures are great! :)
