Hola, New Mexico

Please excuse the cop-out... but I have to sum up New Mexico in pictures... cell phone pictures, at that. What was the #1 bummer of my trip out west? Having a beautiful, expensive Canon Rebel SLR camera and leaving it at home.

Because taxes are due tomorrow and I might do a more fun (funner-er?) write up about my time in the Land of Enchantment, how's aboooot if'n I chuck these pictures up here and open it up for a caption contest?

Include the number and a caption for the corresponding photo for the grand prize of making me and other readers smile!

1 -- White Sands, NM

2 -- More White Sands

3 -- I think you know this Lady.

4 -- On the way to Cloudcroft, NM

5 -- This was a scary, skinny road in a mountain range...

6 -- More scary, skinny road photos.

7 -- Gettin' mah hurrr did.

8 -- I wanted to take that lady home with me.

9 -- The git'up.

10 -- I could not have loved my up-do more.

11 -- I have no idea where this is...

12 -- 36 hours after she did my hair...

13 -- Please have fun with this one.
I don't want to post pictures of the bride or other people because they didn't sign a waiver... that would be rude. I'm sorry to post so many of me, but I just couldn't get enough of what that woman did with my hair.

When I sat down in that chair, I said, "I'd like this and this. Don't bother curling it because my hair has never held a curl longer than an hour." She had the last laugh because here we are a full 36 hours after she did my hair and I could be in a toddler pageant with these bouncy ringlets.

Overall, my mom and I had a beautiful week and met a lot of beautiful, wonderful people. I got to see my oldest friend marry the love of her life surrounded by people who love her.

We've come a long way from the days of buzzing around the soccer field, following the ball like seven-year-old bees to a flower. This week was one, long defining moment in my life that told me: "Hey, you're a grown up now. These are the new teaching moments in your life. Listen up!"

I look forward to reading your captions!

I'm not very good at coming up with captions but just wanted to say you looked so beautiful and loved your up do!

I LOOOOVE your hairdo! Gorgeous! I also love how fun hair is when you take an updo out!

I'll think of some captions when I am more awake!

9 - My best teen side-stance, self-shot, mirror photo.

10 - You almost can't tell this is a fake tan.

I've got nothing for #13. I tried, but I just can't come up with anything. I just think it's funny that neither Jesus nor the Sheriff can bring themselves to look at her.

Honestly though, I think I've stumbled on a random blog. Who IS that girl in the photos above?? The hair truly is AMAZING.

I love that picture of Our Lady. Absolutely beautiful.
And I love your hair!
And I'm not creative enough for a caption contest. I'm lame. :p
BTW. I'm awaiting your comments on my posts. I've been waiting almost a week! (Ok...not that much - I tend to exaggerate!)

Thank you, Marquis!

Thank you so much, Spence!! She did a lovely job!

Lisel- I've never gotten one done professionally before, so that was an experience. I think I have a bobby pin lodged in my skull. Worth it.

Kevin- hahahaha Good point on that last one.

Tina- I don't think these were very good pictures for a caption contest, but they were all I had. Thank you!! Yes, Our Lady was in a restaurant, which was so refreshing!

Next time you go to White Sands, bring a toboggan and go sliding down the dunes. It's totally worth it! :)
