Memorial Day Weekend

1 Reply

Our Memorial Day weekend was spent golfing (Jon) drinking wine (me) and crossing our first summer wedding off the list. My good friend Max (brother of my bestie Ashley) married another friend Hanna and all was right in the world. Family and friends headed to a beautiful ranch near Boulder for a day of celebration. *I was not the photographer, these are just snapshots. Yes that’s a bolo tie and yes he wore the shades for the ENTIRE ceremony. Tisk tisk Max ; ) They exchanged beautiful words, gave us a unique ceremony experience, and then welcomed us all for food, wine and playtime. I’m so happy that two of my favorite people are each others favorites as well. WIN! Kite flying challenge accepted. Congratulations Max and Hanna! We were so happy to be a part of your day. Thank you both for being such warm hosts and for staying true to who you are throughout the wedding day and always. I hope all your peace corps dreams come true and you live happily ever after.

Katie’s Shower

A few weeks ago some friends and I hosted a Bridal Shower for our good friend Katie. With the wedding only a few weeks away, I thought I’d post some photos from her day of getting spoiled. We had so much fun and even though 15 people in our condo was tight, we all had a blast. It was so great spending time with friends and meeting new ones, I can’t wait for the big day!

Elet

Finally Friday! This cold weather we’re having this week has made the days just crawl by. No big plans for us around here this weekend. A little home maintenance and MAYBE some painting…we’ll see how motivated we get. Thank you so much for reading. Hopefully this little burst of posts helps jump start me back into regular writing.

Without further adieu, here are some links I was crushing on this week…

I follow a lot of photography blogs and this GORGEOUS recent wedding (of the famed and uber wealthy Ridinger family) posted to one of them is the most over the top extravagant glitzapalooza’s I’ve ever seen. Here are parts two and three. That headpiece!!! Enjoy the eye candy.

I only have two years left to accomplish this, but I’d love to carry this excellent advice into my 30’s.

Very cool project. A photograph of 4 sisters taken once every year for forty year years.

A mean video, but I still find it funny. I don’t feel bad about it. Paula Deen and Oprah at their finest.

I posted The Pregnant Husband on Facebook a few days ago, but it bears repeating. My favorite internet find since What Should We Call Me.

UNBELIEVABLE. These three must have a new lease on life.

So creepy I can barely watch, and yet strangely endearing. The spider that just couldn’t hide.

This one’s for the boys. Hilarious, laugh out loud, bad lip reading of NFL players. “I found Fido! I found Fido you guys!”

Have a great weekend everybody! Also, you can follow Midwest Mountainess and be notified by e-mail every time I post. Just click follow me in the upper right corner. It’d be much appreciated!

Things I Don’t Understand.

WHAT. IS. HAPPENING.

This. Exactly THIS is why I moved away from Minnesota.

All of Denver got dumped on all day yesterday, which is May 1st. As in May, which comes right before June. On Sunday, it was over 80 degrees. We lunched and dined on patios, went on a long bike ride, got a bit of a suntan and it was warm out until midnight. Two days later it started snowing. I’m over it.

So I’ve decided to pretend it’s not happening. Here’s some pretty flowers with a snowy background. Happy Thursday ya’ll.
