Girls' Weekend!

One of my best friends, Chrissy, was so excited to hear about the news of my pregnancy that she scheduled a visit to El Paso the first weekend she had free. So this past 4-day weekend, I was able to entertain her for a few days and just really enjoyed having her company for a few days. I've been staying with my Auntie Daisy for the past few weeks while my house is being built (nope, I didn't buy a new one, just renting a brand new one) and I figured I'd give her and her family a break for a while.

And Chrissy, well, she does things in high style. She got us a room in the best hotel in town--the Camino Real. We each had a queen-sized bed to ourselves--you know, the kind with tons of plush pillows? Yeah, it provided sleep-full nights the entire time we stayed. It was wonderful!

So, I took Chrissy around the town. In this picture, we had just gotten done eating a marvelous breakfast at the Crave Kitchen and Bar downtown. Their food is to die for! Aside from that, we did tons of shopping (more Chrissy than I), tried out a lot of different restaurants, went to the La Vina Winery (my favorite--it was so hard to just watch her do all the tasting!), and watched a few movies (The Blind Side--awesome; and Leap Year--cute). We even squeezed in naps here and there each day, which I was very thankful for!

It was truly a great weekend. We reminisced about all of our good times together. I've known Chrissy for pretty much my whole time in the Army and she was once my roomie in Iraq. We just couldn't believe that we've come this far and that I'll soon be having a baby! Well, one thing's for sure...Chrissy's definitely going to make a great god-mother for our baby-to-be. Thanks for another great weekend Chrissy. Let's do it again soon!
