Great shot Cristian looks like a Common Whitetail (Plathemis lydia) that lives up your way.

That's what I thought at first, too, but the dark bands on its wings don't match the pattern of the Common Whitetail...
I still don't know what it is, but thanks for trying to help! :)

Thanks Manda! *jupitersnest identified it as Widow Skimmer, and after I Googled it, I agree.
