Lauren Visits Albuquerque

Lauren decided to visit us a few weekends ago. She flew in on Thursday and I picked her up without Alex knowing. She went to the front door and knocked and Alex had to do a double take before opening the door. He was very exicited to see her. I had already tricked Alex into getting off work on Friday so he was able to spend Friday with her and that night we had a guys/girls night. So, I invited some of my friends over and they were able to meet Lauren. Then, we decided to go to the tram on Sunday. We have been here a year and still had not gone to the tram! If I ever tell anyone I live in Albuquerque, I hear "Oh have you been on the tram and seen the balloon festival?" As of a few weeks ago, we had not done either. So, we went on the "World's Longest Tramway." It was a really fun experience. The whole tramride was a beautiful view of the city and there were places to hike and a restaurant that we ate at that was on the top of the mountain. We had a great time!

Albuquerque meets Josh

We have been able to have a lot of company over the past month. Alex's friend, Ryan, came down and spent a weekend with us on his way to Colorado. Then, Josh came to visit us on his way home from Colorado. It was a lot of fun to have him here. He was here for about a week. Alex and Josh played a lot of card games, we went to the movies and out to dinner a few times. It was nice to be able to spend some time with him.
