The first week in May started off very exciting for us. My mom came into town to be with us when we found out the sex of Baby De Leon. Well, if you haven't heard by now, we are having a BOY!! Lee and I couldn't be any more excited! Mom also accompanied me to my "Gender Revealing" lunch with some of my Tucson girlfriends. That night we also had a celebratory dinner at our favorite Tucson restaurant, Gavi, before mom headed back to Texas the next day. We also had Lee's staff end of the year party at our house that week. It sure was fun having a house full of college kids! The week ended with dinner with the Barney's, lunch with a girlfriend, girls night to dinner and see "Something Barrowed", spending the day with Lee's donors at La Paloma at the pool and playing golf, a date night, and my first kind-of Mother's Day. Here are a few pics....
The second week was crazy busy for us but again, lots of fun. I worked all week with one of our mentors from church at his photography business helping him shoot a dance studio. It was lots of fun and I got see and meet lots of new people, which is always nice! We started off the week celebrating Lee's sister, Kate's birthday from afar, dinner with the Ingrams, dinner with a girlfriend of mine, dinner at the Rohrets, and ended the week with a perfect date night to Lil' Abners....man, I love that place! Also, at the end of this week, we found out that Lee and I would be flying out to Albuquerque on Monday morning and Lee would be interviewing at UNM all day on Tuesday. So, here's how the next week went.....
On Monday the 16th we flew to Albuquerque or "The Q" as we call it and Lee and I got to explore an area of the city and have dinner with someone from the athletic department. We had a blast and loved the city even though we never in a million years thought we would ever be moving to New Mexico. All day Tuesday the 17th Lee interviewed with UNM while I went around the city with a "mutual friend" looking and exploring all parts of Albuquerque in case we would move here in a couple of weeks. Lee and I met up at the airport on Tuesday late afternoon and flew back to Tucson. On Wednesday, we went about our day as normal in Tucson while UNM interviewed one last person. Then, on Thursday, May 19th our lives literally changed when Lee was offered the position late that afternoon and accepted it! He would then start for UNM on June 6th. Lee and I went for celebratory dinner at Sullivan's Steakhouse that night and had a blast dreaming about our new life with our new baby in tow. On Friday of that week, we went to the Dancing with the Tucson Stars Gala with Greg and Regina Byrne and watched Regina compete in the competition. Sadly, she didn't win but we all had a blast! Then, on Saturday, we spent the day visiting our friends, the Mospans, in Phoenix and going to a U of A donor's daughter's graduation party. We had a blast and then Sunday Lee played guitar one last time at Casas and I attended a baby shower before we started packing.
Finally, the week we had been waiting for for three months was finally here....our "Babymoon" to Cabo San Lucas!! We had booked this trip three months ago, not knowing that we would be moving and that Lee would need one last relaxing vacation before he started his new hectic job! We spent 6 days and 5 nights in beautiful Cabo at the Villa del Arco Resort and Spa and it literally was paradise! We slept in every day, had breakfast, layed out by the pool and ocean, went to Lover's Beach, walked under the famous Arch, eat great lunches and dinners, went into downtown and saw The Hangover, Part II, ate at Cabo Wabo, and had a couples massage. Overall, it was SOOOOO relaxing and just a perfect trip. Here are a few pics....
We came back to Tucson just in time to spend Memorial Day weekend with our church friends at lunch, packing up parts of our house, and spending Memorial Day dinner with Chrissy and Ben Lorenzen. We sure are going to miss everyone when we're gone!
Hope everyone had a great May! We are definitely looking forward to the future and a lifetime of friendship with our Tucson friends. We love ya'll!
