I thought once we moved I'd be way better at doing this whole blog thing more regularly. I was wrong. We've been here for almost 6 weeks, and things are finally settling down. Now I can rewind and recap the last month and a half we've been here... Starting with Wyoming.
The weekend after we got here, Kirks little sister Brittany got married and Hereford Ranch in Cheyenne. Which means we packed up for a packed 48 hours.
In the 10 minutes it took us to get to the airport I decided we were located perfectly in the city. Minutes from both our jobs, the strip, our church, and the airport makes me a happy girl. We went to go through security and got randomly picked to go through the express line. No taking things out of our bags, no shoes and belts off, and just a quick step through the metal detector. Let me tell ya. If I flew a lot, I would totally pay for the pre-check! Quick and easy...for everyone except Kirk. In the move he had put his leatherman pocket knife in his bag and forgot to take it out. He had be escorted out of the security area, check that bag, and come back through security. That time he had to through the regular line which meant I was left sitting for quite a while. Live and learn, right?
After a short, uneventful flight, we arrived in Denver. That's right. We fly 2 hours into Denver, then drive 2 hours into Cheyenne. Which makes for a long night when we finally arrived at our hotel at about midnight. After what felt like a very short sleep, Kirk went with his Brother in law and nieces to breakfast while I helped his sister who was a bridesmaid get ready for the wedding. They left to take pictures and Kirk and I made our way over to the Boot Barn to get our first pairs of cowboy boots. The wedding was at a ranch, we HAD to have boots.........
The ceremony was held by a creek and Kirk had the honor of walking his baby sister partway down the aisle to hand her to their mom. So sweet! The reception was in a barn and was coral, denim and burlap. It was gorgeous and perfect for the couple. It was so fun to see all my brothers and sisters in law, and all the nieces and nephews. Its very rare that we're all together at once.
Before we knew it the night was over and it was back to the hotel to pack up for our flight the next morning. A text came in from Kirks Mom early the next morning asking if we'd looked outside yet. So we did, and then I wish we hadn't. We were greeted by about 5 inches of snow that had came down in a matter of about 7 hours. Now, being from Las Vegas via California, we don't own snow anything, let alone brought any! We quickly left for the airport knowing it would take us a while to get there!! And it sure did. Then our flight was delayed
3 times!!!! Augh! All I can say is thank goodness for free wi-fi and laptops.
Our flight home was a little more exciting due to the fact that a man had a heart attack half way through the flight. We still got home safely, albeit a few hours late. It was so nice to land and not see any snow though! It was a short, but wonderful weekend. And now for pictures.
