Ruidoso 2010!

"The Couples" had a little retreat this past weekend to Ruidoso, NM. It is the cutest mountain town. Tel and I even vote that it's cooler than Jackson Hole. Anyways, Will, Katie Jo, Lawrence, Sarah, and Tel and I all rented out a cabin for the weekend. It was the coolest house ever. It was even equipped with a pool table, foosball, a hot tub, and other arcade games! 

Tel and I's cute room.

After work on Friday, we jetted up there. 

Will made us all dinner, chicken wrapped with peppers and bacon! It was really good. 

After dinner, began the Settler of Catan marathon. I played with Lawrence, Will, and Tel until about 1:30am. By this time KJ and Sarah had already gone off to bed. The boys said they were going to play 1 more game. So I went and crashed in bed. At 5:45am, Tel came in and said that they had just finished playing! Sarah I guess wasn't too happy with the boys bringing up the sun, while playing board games. So she sent them to bed. haha.

Anyways, on Saturday we all went and walked the shops downtown. I got a really cute hat and a pair of shoes. We also had to stop by the saloon and take some old western photos! It was such a blast!

Saloon Chicks.

Love the finger pointing finger.

Opps!

We had a lot of fun..

Oh no you didn't, Will!

We had some really good bbq for lunch. Then we were off to the horse races. The Ruidoso Down's Track is so huge! I couldn't believe how big it was. All the boys placed a billion bets on horses, and failed every single time. Bahaha. It was a fun afternoon at the track. Us girls were enticed by the ice cream, while the boys were obsessed with gambling. So we were all happy.

Yah! At the Horse Races and Ruidoso Downs!

Saturday evening, Tel and I made tinfoil dinners back at the cabin for dinner. We ended the night playing lots of board games and pool.

Before heading home on Sunday, Tel and I stopped by the resort "Inn of the Mountain Gods". It was really pretty.

We also scouted out the deer we'll be shooting in October..

It was such a fun weekend. We will definitely be heading back to Ruidoso soon!

MRS. PHR

So my big accomplishment lately has been passing the PHR exam! I am now a licensed Professional in Human Resources! I have been studying my butt off since March. And the last couple of weeks I have been buried in PHR flash cards. Poor tel has had to fend for himself for a while now. So my test was a 4 and 1/2 hour exam and was 250 questions. When I had 3 minutes left, I hit the end button, feeling sick to my stomach, knowing that I failed, BUT I DIDN'T. I was so excited when I seen the word "Pass"! I took my test in Roswell, and I was so excited afterwards I had to award myself with a shopping spree at Target. I rationalized to myself that I deserved it. Then we celebrated with Brady and Britney at Lucy's Mexican restaurant for dinner! WHOOT I am now Mrs. PHR according to Tel.
