My niece, Katie, got married this weekend in Breckenridge, Colorado to her new husband, Jonathan Huffman. The wedding was beautiful. It was an outdoor wedding with the mountains and forest as their backdrop. It was a very Christ centered wedding. I'm excited for them as they start their lives together as husband and wife.
My dad and Sue picked me up from the airport and I spent the majority of my time with them. Sue and I decided that we wanted to eat crepes for lunch one of the days. There was a food truck that sold crepes and everytime we passed by it had a long line of people waiting. My Uncle Rod and cousin, Jada, were with us and after about a minute of standing in the crepe line decided they wanted to eat somewhere else. Sue and I decided to stick it out. After about an hour Rod, Jada and my dad returned with full bellies, while Sue and I had yet to receive our crepes. We just had to laugh. The crepes were very yummy, but the whole experience took about an hour and fifteen minutes. Not sure I want to stand in that line again anytime soon...
My weekend in Colorado was filled with lots of time spent with my extended family. Katie and Jonathan organized a hike up in the mountains one of the mornings. We rode a gondola up the mountain and then hiked for about an hour and half. It was a pretty hike. I also went for a run along the creek that runs through Breckenridge. It was absolutely beautiful. After the wedding, my dad, Sue and I went and spent the night in Denver with my brother, Rick and his wife, Crystal. Rick moved to Denver when I was just one or two years old and he is twenty years older than me, so we have never been very close. It was nice getting to visit with him, Crystal and my nephews.
As much as I enjoyed being with my extended family in Colorado, it feels great to be back in Michigan with Trevor and the kids. I'm look forward to staying put for awhile...
