Let It Snow!

Last Thursday, Chris, Beckett, and I flew to Denver for the wedding of a longtime friend of ours. I grew up with Clint (from 5th grade on), and Chris and Clint became great friends in college. I love seeing the way the Lord brings people together in marriage. It is really such a gift!

So we headed out early Thursday morning, and by the time we woke up in Littleton on Friday, the snow was covering the ground, and there was no sign of it letting up. It was so beautiful! I love the way freshly fallen snow looks and how it almost sparkles in the sun. Isn't God so creative?!? So, of course, we had to take advantage of getting pictures with our sweet baby boy with the very first snow of his life.





{By the way, it's really hard to keep your eyes open when snow is falling on your eyelids. And, even without the sun out, it is super bright!}

Of course, people in Texas would be extremely ill-equipped to deal with 2 feet (yes, TWO FEET) of snow, but those people that reside in Colorado don't even think twice about keeping their plans. It was slightly crazy to me! I am used to things shutting down over a dusting of snow! This is what Clint's backyard looked like on Saturday morning, wedding day!


How beautiful is that! I seriously think it was the perfect backdrop for a Colorado wedding. It was definitely really cold, but we managed to stay inside for most of the three and a half days we were there.

The wedding was gorgeous and such a sweet ceremony. The reception was lots of fun, too. I am so happy for Clint and Hailey, and I am excited to see the ways the Lord uses them to bring His kingdom here to the earth.

I have only like 2 pictures from the wedding. I'm so bad about bringing my camera with the intention of taking lots of pictures, and somehow I come away with almost none. I will just blame it on the fact that I am trying to be in the moment with the people around me :)

Here are my handsome boys before the wedding. 2 of the 3 loves of my life.


And the three of us...


We definitely missed Micah. She stayed with my parents, had a total blast, and hardly missed us. As much as I would've loved to bring her along, I cherish the times with just my little man. Sweet memories!
