Colorado Springs and Snow in Tucson

This weekend was quite enjoyable! I was able to head to Colorado Springs this past Friday for one of my dear college girlfriend's wedding! Melanie Knox got married to an Air Force boy she met in CS... Matt Larson. It was a joy to finally meet him as well as be together with some of my most cherished friends to now live all over the US. The group that was just attending the wedding had a lot of time to play in the snow, enjoy the indoor hot tub that looks out to Pike's Peak, walk around downtown, chill at Starbucks... just have time to catch up. The whole bridal party headed back to the hotel late Friday night after they were done with the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. We all stayed up super late chatting it up in the lobby.
The wedding was beautiful and the reception was a lot of fun. The whole weekend was early mornings and late nights with all of us trying to spend as much time with each other as possible. What a joy to spend whatever time I can with these kids!!

Beautiful mountains in Colorado Springs

After a very eventful Sunday of trying to get back to Tucson, Brian picked me up at the airport and with the luck of all of my airport and airplane enjoyment... I ended up without my suitcase.
(It has since been delivered to my door step; thank you Frontier Airlines!!)

We went out to dinner after I got home and was trying to not cry (I was very tired and very frustrated). As we were driving down the road... it started to snow. (It doesn't snow in Tucson... it snows in the mountains we are surrounded by, but not the actually city...) And then it continued to get heavier and heavier. By the time we got to Texas Roadhouse, everything around us was white. I guess all of us that were waiting out the snow storm in Denver brought all of the snow with us. Needless to say, for someone who does not enjoy being cold, I was surrounded by cold and snow all weekend long.

Hey, I heard about these cameras that have a skinny setting that squeezes in at the sides to make you look thinner. Is that why my head looks so very long in your pictures?

Your hair looks great here, by the way. I love you so much!
