Wedding Week


Let’s pretend I posted this 3 weeks ago. Ok? Ok.

My trip to Colorado was so much fun. I don’t remember the last time I had so much fun. I flew into Denver on Wednesday and kept looking out the window, waiting in anticipation for the sight of mountains, snow, etc. I have never been wester than Lubbock, Texas (unless you count that California trip my mama took when I was in the womb). Finally, there they were—little squares of white ground. There were snow flurries when I landed, but over the next 2 hours, flurries turned to real, honest-to-goodness snow.

We stayed in Winter Park, a little town in a valley a couple hours west of Denver. Our cabin was massive and had a sweet kitchen (SO MUCH COUNTERSPACE). And when I say our, I mean me, K, B, both of their parents, some friends, and K’s 2 sisters and their husbands and children. The kids and I played the dance Kinect game one night and had a blast. Make a note—get one of those. We went tubing on Friday afternoon. Also a blast. I was only scared one time—I was going down the black diamond hill on my belly and hit a mogul and flew into the air and I thought I was going to fall off my tube and die. But I didn’t.

Rehearsal dinner and the bachelorette party were on Friday night. Earlier in the day I had to draw a studly fireman on a large poster board so that we could play pin-the-hose-on-the-fireman at the bachelorette party. We used twizzlers for the hoses. Then there was another game that involved toilet paper rolls and sticks. And I won the trivia game about K and B. Congratulations to moi!

Wedding Eve was exhausting, but that's okay because Wedding Day was perfect. Details are forthcoming, like, tomorrow. But really, probably not for another few days (cough!) week. Sorry about the suspense, but this week was also exhausting and it is past my bedtime.
