Colorado wedding

Three weeks ago we flew to Denver, Colorado for Philip's sister's wedding. It was a little dicey flying in, for when we arrived, the weather was like this:

Of course, none of the shoes I brought along were sensible for snow. I spent the entire weekend wearing high-heeled boots since they were the only ones that went above my ankle. Relatedly, RIP high-heeled boots since they were ruined by walking through the snow and ice.

We took advantage of the wonderful weather (blowing snow and precipitation) to walk around Denver and see the places Philip frequented when he lived there.

 Though I froze, I liked seeing the restaurants he hung out at and the places he played his guitar. We also checked out the architecture he studied during his Master's degree – places like the library and an art museum that looks like a rock formation. We ate pizza at Mellow Mushroom for lunch, forgetting that we were having pizza at the rehearsal dinner later that evening. No regrets.

The wedding the next evening was held at a beautiful venue made even better by all of the snow on the ground.

We had a great time partying and hanging out with his family and enjoyed lots of niece and nephew time. It was also nice to get to see the mountains again, especially when they looked like this:

I hope to return to Colorado one day soon in the spring or summer so I can actually go up into the mountains!
