Brod and I were able to fly to Albuquerque for the week to look for housing. It was one of the funnest trips I've ever taken! It was so fun exploring our new city for the first time! It started out with our hotel upgrading our room to a suite- just because we asked- and everything just went up from there! It was so fun to choose which homes we wanted to look at because the realtor would just give us up to 5 keys at a time to go look for ourselves. So with sonics in one hand, and keys in the other, we were just free to explore on our own. We were also able to fit in a Dave Matthews Band concert, taking the tram to the top of the mountain at sunset, eating so much mexican food, and going to the temple. To top everything off, we found our house!! We are just renting it for now, but it's exactly where we wanted to live- at the base of the mountains 3 miles from the temple! How we found it was nothing short of a blessing. I just don't know if we'll know what to do with stairs, a garage, a laundry room, and our own yard! :) It was so fun to come back to the girls at the end of the week, but the time Brod and I had together in our new city only made my feelings for him and for our best friendship even stronger!
Some of the many keys we had!
The DMB concert was an absolute blast. It was played at the journal pavilion which is up in the mountains, so when the sun went down you could see all of the city lights
They put on the most amazing concert- they are one of Brod's favorite bands and after this concert I LOVE them too!
Of course.... mexican food!!
We were able to fit in a matinee at a dollar theatre and saw Confessions of a Shopoholic- it was darling!
This was the night we rode the tram to the top of the mountain- and here we are at the base, ready to go up!
At the top it was breathtaking! I have always LOVED city lights and I couldn't get over how gorgeous that view was.
There's a restaurant at the top that is called High Finance..and because of that reason, we shared nachos:)
It was so special going through the temple. Every time I go I realize how hard it's been to live away from one. Brod graduates next week and we leave Florida June 19! At least now, we know where we'll be moving to!

Oh man, that picture at the High Finance Restaurant brings back sooo many memories!! I got to spend a week with Dustin in Albuquerque and we took pictures at the top of the mountain too. Those were some awesome fun times!! I am so happy for you guys!! It sounds like you are really going to enjoy living there. I hope you do!! So exciting, getting to start a new adventure together.

Oh Jess! I'm so excited you guys found your house! It's such a relief to know where you are going to be and to be so close to the temple!? How amazing! Oh what a fun trip to go out just the two of you! We loved New Mexico when we lived there (for two whole months!)! Maybe you will be close enough to Greeley that we could actually meet up some time! :) Thank you for your sweet comments! I just think the world of you and know you are an amazing mommy and if I could be half as sweet as you I would feel a lot better about my mothering skills! :) Love you Jess! Congrats on the house and Good Luck on the move!

Such a fun new post! I was wondering when I was going to get to see the juicy pictures from your new home town! I can't wait to see where you are going to be living. Sonic, mexican food, what more could you ask for (besides me being your neighbor of course:). You look gorgeous and I am so proud of you and Brodie for making it through school all of these years. So proud that we can call "uncle Brodie" when we need to be calmed down:)! Love you!
