All I can say about this last weekend is thank you to Kyle's unit for giving them a 4 day weekend!
On Friday we headed out to Alamogordo, NM to visit a pistachio farm. I'm so glad we did this! This farm handles 2% of the US pistachio production (while the other 98% is in California) We were able to go on a tour of the whole facility. We saw where they get washed, sorted, roasted/salted, packaged and shipped. We even got to sample some that came right out of the roaster, yum! They also have a winery so we walked out of there with 2 bottles of wine and red chill/onion garlic pistachios.

Saturday was AMAZING! I completed my 2nd half marathon and got to cross the finish line with Kyle as he finished his 1st. I was beyond excited with my time of 2 hours and 36 minutes. I bested my 10 miler time by 6 minutes. The best part was the last mile of the race was done on the actual horse track of Sunland Park Casino. It was incredible...running with Kyle is one of my favorite things. He is such a great motivator.
Sunday was spent relaxing, we had breakfast at Cracker Barrel and enjoyed watching football and drag racing the rest of the day.
Today I'm meeting up with Britt for coffee to go over our Thanksgiving menu and then to run a few errands. Hopefully Kyle will end up at the golf course for a little relaxation of his own.
I hope you all had an amazing weekend!
