Spring Break

... means VACATION!!!!!!!!


Here's what I know so far, friends and fam ...


Next Monday: To Lubbock (just me)

Next Tuesday: St. Patrick's Day with my seeeeeeester!

Next Wednesday: Charlotte, Melanie, and Corinne arrive in the LBK.

Next Thursday: Family time in Lubbock! (Alex leaves Austin for NM.)

Next Friday: I fly to Albuquerque SUPER early in the morning to meet up with Alex.

Next Saturday: To Aztec, where his parents live and he was raised. (Small town at the very Northern tip of NM near Farmington ... about 7 miles from the Colorado border.)

Following Sunday: Alex-family time!

Following Monday & Tuesday: To Telluride for some skiing and true-mountain time.

Following Wednesday- Friday: Back to Aztec, which is also about half an hour from Durango, CO ... where we tend to "hang," eat, and enjoy.

Following Saturday: I fly back into Lubbock, Alex flies back to Austin (both from Albuquerque).

Following Sunday: I drive back to Austin. (Unless I am too exhausted to drive solo, then it will be Monday.)


Quite the Round Robin, wouldn't you say? :) I'm happy about it, though!! We haven't been to see Alex's parents since last July, and I always love going home for visits with my family. That I get to squish them all together in a two-week bonanza is fantastic with me!

I admit that I am a little nervous about skiing because it is in the realm of "the unknown," but ... you know ... you only live once! Can't be scared all your life.

All of this will, of course, be well-documented in photos. I am trying to figure out how we will take pictures on the mountain, as I will NOT be carrying my very nice and expensive mamma-jamma camera with me whilst skiing aboot. I imagine I'll resort to disposable for those 2 days.

OH! And Telluride is gorgeous, from what I am told. Alex and his family have never been there before either, so it will be new to all of us. I hear there's ice skating at night in the middle of town as well. I'm so there!

Can't believe my departure day is less than a week away! I feel like I should start packing already ...
