So being a good husband I start asking Jess what she wants for her birthday at least two months in advance. So the usual, "I don't want anything" it what I was expecting. But oh no was I in for it! She looks back over her shoulder and says, "I want to go to New Mexico and hang out with my parents and go to the Balloon Fiesta"....OK. So October 1st rolled around and we drove...and drove...and drove. We had a blast in New Mexico. It was great because we got to spend great time with both our parents, spend time with friends, and of course look at balloons!
Side Note: We did attend the Fiesta two separate times, but unfortunately the photos from our morning session have been lost. (Sorry Josh iPhoto crashed uploading them)
