We're back

We returned Friday from our separate adventures. Liz went back to MI for a Bridal shower, to try on her wedding dress, and a bachelorette party amongst other things. She had an incredible time and came back with a new haircut and a fresh glow about her that I find incredibly attractive (Liz will have to login and write more about her trip). I, on the other hand, returned from a week in CA with a sunburnt forehead - not quite the glow Liz was hoping for... and now it's peeling. Sweet. Aforementioned sunburn was achieved while driving around San Diego in Shawn's little Alfa Romeo convertible. We saw some of the Red Bull air races, helped Jackson decompress from his POW training with the marines, laid on the beach, ate some fish tacos, watched some surfing from the pier, played some football on the beach, and received a personal tour of a Harrier up close and personal with First Lt. Aaron Frey (Jackson) aka Call Sign Amber.

I then flew to San Francisco to see Eric and Sarah and their new daughter Mica. What an incredible new family - Mica has an adorable little personality and at 16 months she's quite the talker and attention hog - I loved getting to hang out and dance with her. It was fun to see Eric and Sarah too... ;) We went to the MOMA - which had an incredible photography exhibit. We met up with Damien's dad at his bagel shop in Sonoma and then went for a wine tasting. We went sailing with Schulyer and cruised around Alcatraz and past the Golden Gate Bridge - it was a breezy blast!

Upon return to CO we were met with a large muddy mess as the snow begins to melt in Crested Butte - we're contemplating having a back-up location in case our outside venue is still snowed-in - and with the forecast calling for 6-12 inches tonight it may be awhile before it melts out.

Went snowmobiling Saturday - there was 6 inches of fresh - and it was some of the best snowmobiling I've ever had - until it wasn't. Got the sled stuck against a tree and ended up having to come back the next day with some friends to get it out. Went mountain biking today... rough life.

All the invites are sent - and the reality is sinking in - it's soon!!! Woooeee!! Wedding planning - lots of fun final details.

The sled track down to the tree... the broken stump in the left foreground was 5 inches in diameter - somehow the sled still works... just a few broken plastic panels...Sled worked enough to tow Eric and Damien to the top for a number of laps.
