I have been a bad blogger! Time to change that with an update on our latest trip to Colorado Springs for Samantha and Josh's wedding! I'm also in the process of doing a blog makeover. I'm thinking of changing this blog to be mostly updates about Matt and I and what's going on our lives. It's fun to keep track of events and everyday things to look back on later. You might even see some posts from the hubs on here!
Anyways, on to our last big trip...
Matt and I were so excited to make this trip out West and be a part of Sami's big day. This was our first visit out to Colorado. We were looking forward to taking in the beautiful mountain scenery!
The very best part about this trip was getting lots of time to hang out with old friends! Here is Matt and I with the beautiful bride at the Welcome Reception at the Inverness Hotel.
Old college roomies reunited again! Love and miss you guys!
Part of the bridal party. Miss hanging out with these ladies at all of the wedding events this year! We bonded over dance steps and crafting :)
Saturday morning was rehearsal time. But who would have guessed that it would also be the first snowfall of the season for Colorado! We all bundled up and made the scary snowy drive out to Crooked Willow Farms for the rehearsal. It was freezing, but these two lovebirds don't seem to mind :)
Our big event for the day was going to be a trip up to Pike's Peak courtesy of Mr. Meyer. We had been looking forward to this trip, and we were worried it would be cancelled due to the weather (aka I whined all morning about it being freezing and how I did not want to spend another minute of the day outside). But luckily we were still able to make the train ride, and I am soooo glad we did! It was so worth it! We only went half way up the mountain because it was a blizzard at the very top. But we enjoyed gorgeous views on our way up!
Our next adventure of the day was visiting the Garden of the Gods. This was a wonderful way to see Colorado! This was the same day as the rehearsal and train ride. Can you believe it? It turned absolutely gorgeous by lunchtime!
Then Sunday was the big day! The girls spent Saturday night in the bridal cottage on Crooked Willow Farms. Sunday morning was spent finishing up last minute details (including dance practice and singing rehearsals, oh my). Then it was time for hair and makeup. Sami looked stunning in her dress!!
I adore these ladies.
The wedding was so much fun. Sami put so much thought into every little detail. The venue was gorgeous and everything was perfect.
Congrats to the happy newlyweds! We love you guys and we had a blast out in Colorado! xoxo
