plan a modern wedding in the middle of the country

So, last week I spent some time in my favorite state (Colorado) with some of my favorite people.  During my time there, I was able to catch up with a great friend and get a look into her passion (photography).  She shared the work of a fantastic Colorado-based photographer and that’s when I fell in love with this.

I would give my left arm to get married there. Actually, I would give both arms and both legs.

In case you’re wondering, I have already inquired with the location regarding future use for a vow renewal. Le swoon (big time).

This wedding seriously makes me wanna re-think my wedding and get married in Colorado in the Fall just so I can do this:

I leave for Colorado in less than two weeks.  I am really excited first off, because it is Colorado and I love that state more than anything.  Secondly, I get to see two of my favorite people in the world and one of my best friends.

I really thing this vacation is going to be the beginning of something wonderful.  For several months now, B and I have been looking for jobs and apartments in Denver and I really feel this can get the ball rolling for us.  We have talked about moving for over a year (not kidding) and I think this visit is going to be a catalyst among other things.

We will also get the chance to ski/snowboard, which I honestly have not done since high school.  My board is still in such great shape because I haven’t gotten the use out of it that I could have.  I am going to come back so sore.  I am just hoping I do not get hurt so I can still run the St. Louis Half-Marathon in April.  Fingers crossed.

I wish we were going to have a little more time in Denver to look around, get some ideas, but mostly this trip is going to be good for the both of us.  A change of scenery and considering we haven’t had a vacation together in quite some time, a good fire starter, I guess you could say.  This month we are celebrating two years of being together (where did they go?).  So, Colorado, friends and us will make for a fantastic time and memory.
