On July 15th we headed to New Mexico with Randall and Carley for the wedding of Chance and De'Ann. We flew into Roswell where Erik and Randall grew up and took a drive down memory lane. Carley commented that the town was far too obsessed with aliens, as there were even alien murals drawn on the Wal-Mart building.
From Roswell we went to the Inn of the Mountain Gods in Ruidoso where Erik, Randall, Chance, and Curtis (Chance's dad) kept up the pre-wedding golf tradition. It is a beautiful place in the mountains owned by the Apache Indian Tribe. On Thursday we took in a couple of horse races at Ruidoso Downs & then made our way to Portales.
In Portales we met up with the Butler and Luce clans and had a family dinner at De'Ann's grandparents' ranch. The rehearsal party was a rodeo and when the sun set, the cowboys pulled up their trucks and turned on the headlights so that they could see the calves in the arena. It was awesome!
The wedding was absolutely beautiful and we are so blessed to have De'Ann in the family!
