We started off the month Texas style by going to a Pat Green Concert. When I was in college, I went to many Pat Green shows. He is a Texas Country artist and puts on a great show. He came to a small venue in Albuquerque the first Sunday in May. I must admit it made me miss home...these Albuquerqueans can't properly appreciate all the Texas songs! Although John is from California, he has been back to the great state of Texas enough that he does appreciate it.
A few days later, we went to the Dave Matthews concert. Albuquerque has a fun outdoor venue that is so nice with the beautiful New Mexico nights. I had no idea the following Dave Matthews still had...his fans are fiercely loyal...including our next door neighbors! Although we do not measure up to Dave's other fans, we still had such a great time. Since John has gotten into the guitar, he has a new appreciation for great musicians and these guys really delivered. An average song lasted about ten minutes! Here are some pics from the evening.
Memorial Day weekend was very low key. John fished while I read and we grilled a lot. We had one productive morning when we finished planting all the flowers! Tessa and Lily are showcasing some our work below!
The last weekend in May we had some wonderful friends come see us! Many of you know that I have worked for MDA for almost 9 years and in that time I have been blessed with some amazing friends. Kim and Tonya are absolutely at the top of that list. They have become such wonderful friends of ours including Tonya's husband Ryan! We all hadn't been together in a while since we live in different states. It was so much fun catching up! We enjoyed a tram ride, tapas, board games, Rock Band and Ryan's great burgers! Here are a couple of pics from the weekend!

Kim took her first rock band experience very seriously!
Summers are beautiful in New Mexico...upper eighties and no humidity...so feel free to come see us!

Even when you guys don't do anything, you do more than anyone else. Sounds like May was good, hopefully June will be just as low key but eventful. The last time I saw Dave, Maria asked Dave to "take off his shirt" He replied with a Dave-esque answer "Ug, I don't think you want me to do that" (imagine this being said in a low toned rumbly Dave voice). Last time I saw Pat he was playing with Willie Nelson at Salsa-rita-ville in Waco, TX. That night I was handcuffed twice, escorted out of the concert 3 times, and rode in the back of a cop car looking for my hotel. Awww memories. Keep up the good work.
