This New Mexico weather is a-w-e-s-o-m-e!!!! The days are hitting the mid to upper 60's, it's nice and dry, and the nights are in the 30s but with the dry air it doesn't feel that bad. Jack and I have been wanting to find some patio furniture in order to enjoy these gorgeous days and from what we've heard, gorgeous summers with highs in the 80s, so we headed out on Saturday looking for a good deal. We found what we thought would be perfect at Home Depot but it was a bit pricey. Jack decided to put his haggling hat on and talked to a lady there about possibly giving the set to us for 20% off. Before discussing with her he told me he needed to make sure he had the walk-away power in case she didn't come through with a discount and that we couldn't be so set on getting it that we'd pay full price. To our surprise after mentioning how much he wanted off the set she agree without hesitation! Woohoo, 20% off and that sucker was loaded into the Flex! We got home and our friends Jeremy and Kimi stopped by so we roped them into helping us set it up. After getting it all put together we all headed out for some yummy steak at Outback (Jack and Jeremy's favorite) and enjoyed some NCAA watching. It was a fun time. Then we decided to put our new furniture to the test. The nice thing is, the table doubles as a fire pit so Jack and Jeremy went gallivanting in the woods for some firewood and we enjoyed a nice fire outside while chit chatting. If you don't want a fire going there is a nice cover for the pit and the table is one smooth piece easily used for eating dinners. It's great! We love it and are looking forward to enjoying more time spent outside this summer. The next thing on our list to find is a nice big umbrella to put out there. The days aren't as hot as in NC or TN during the summer but the sun is definitely more blazing so getting burned happens a lot faster and easier out here (bring your sunblock if you're coming to visit!).
