The trip was worth it though. I got to see the bff and the in-laws-to-be. The weather was awful (and I miss the crazy warm Boston weather), so the race was FREEZING, but we managed. I was happy with my time, even though it's not an impressive one compared to anyone else. We didn't make it to the zoo because of the weather, but there was good baseball time and shopping. I just love New Mexico so much. It's hard to be away for too long.

On an unrelated to New Mexico note, the hubs-to-be and I FINALLY figured out our moving/living situation for next year. We're in our lease until September 1, and we're getting married the weekend before, so poor planning on our part, but we want to move. We need more space but we weren't sure we'd be able to move anyway due to the deposits etc required since we're paying for said wedding the weekend before. So, after a long talk of moving/not moving/breaking our lease/subletting, we decided we'll stay in our place for another year, unless the one bed in the building next door becomes available. It's the same landlord, so we won't have to do any new deposits, or applications or anything. It would still require us to move four days after getting married, but it's bigger and nicer and only one building over, so it would be totally worth it. The catch is, the landlord doesn't know if the current tenant will renew or not. She just hasn't gotten back to him yet. We're crossing our fingers that she's moving on, because we want to move in! Hopefully we'll find out this week...
