We had a super busy week of the wedding. On Tuesday, we went to Las Cruces, visited the book store and had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings. That was mine and Dean's 30th anniversary. He got there in time for dinner. We went out just our kids (Eric, Ashley, Joy Anna & Jeremy) and us for dinner. After dinner, we went to Joy Anna's and Jeremy's apartment and played games. On Wednesday, we did several trips to the airport picking up lots of family. In the evening we did a birthday dinner for Billie. It was tons of fun having all of us there together. On Thursday, we went to White Sands and I forgot my camera. Really? I am not sure how that happened. Oh yeah, the trundle bed we were sleeping on decided to scare me thinking it was going to fall - I moved everything off the sofa and slept on that. I completely missed my camera when we were getting ready to go. We did have a lot of fun at White Sands. We had 4 car loads of people. Great fun!
On Friday, we got an early start getting ready for the bridal lunch.
That evening, we had the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Ashley, our planner in the family, ended up doing the wedding coordinating. The venue was supposed to provide one, but since things kept changing with that, we decided to do it our own way.
We had a great Mexican dinner that evening. I am so thankful we had the big house for all the parties. I think there were about 50 of us there on Friday night.
The pool and hot tub were big hits!
