A wonderful weekend with daddy

We had such a wonderful weekend with daddy! Shelby was a very good girl in the car. We left Friday morning at 5:40 and made it to Artesia by 4:15. Then the three of us headed to Carlsbad, NM for the night. Late Saturday morning we headed to Sanderson, TX to check out the town. We found out that they don't have much for visitors. Saturday was our 6th wedding anniversary and we had a LOT of laughs...we stayed in a dumpy motel, we ate at a gas station for dinner (I really wish we had taken a picture of our "delicious" meal - corn dog for me and chicken finger things for Josh), and Shelby slept in our bed with us.

Sanderson is a town that used to be much larger because the train stopped there, but years ago there was an accident and it was determined that that stop was dangerous so instead of fixing it they took it out. Many people left the town and there are now lots of abandoned houses too far gone to renovate. Still not sure what we are going to do for a house once January comes. For now we just keep praying.

Late Sunday morning we headed out of town and made it (an hour away) to Ft. Stockton for breakfast at IHOP. Then we went back to Carlsbad for Sunday night and Monday. Tuesday Shelby and I made it back safely to Greeley by 6:15 pm. What a weekend!

We found a pumpkin patch in Carlsbad so we stopped to take some pictures. It was a lot of fun!

Sunday night we had a much better anniversary dinner at Chili's. Shelby got all dressed up and looked so sweet!

Monday we enjoyed the Carlsbad Caverns. What an amazing place!!!
