Those Memorable Moments

This is the song I walked down the aisle to at our wedding and I am so in love with it.

 

And this one is our first dance song. Adam's choice.  ;)

The story behind this is classic but I'll have to write it up another time.

Tis The Season...To Blog.

After a wonderfully long girl chat with a new friend, we realized that we really only like blogging during the cold seasons, especially during fall when life isn't as chaotic. It's peaceful and heart warming to write all these random thoughts while the trees are changing colors and the leaves are falling. It's mine, and most everybody's, favorite time of year. We bring out the favorite teas, the pumpkin coffee, the creativity, the romance, the autumn adventures, the leggings and sweaters, and we find so much comfort in this.

Let me discuss what's gone on in the past year. 

My amazing man, Adam Gutierrez, proposed to me October 17th, 2012. We were married exactly 3 weeks and 2 days ago at 5:30pm on Saturday, September 14th, 2013. The ceremony itself was a miracle and breathtaking. Before that, It was such a worrisome wedding because Colorado flooded for the first time in ages and it was so bad that entire cities were blocked and stuck, disabling so many guests from coming to the wedding. One day before the actual wedding, we thought we had to cancel the wedding due to that fact. One another hand, we thought we should cancel the wedding out of respect to all of the citizens who were suffering. We stayed strong, made phone calls, prayed hard, and did everything we could to just hope for the best. Luckily and unexpectedly, our wedding venue was on top of a mountain in evergreen that the rain had hardly touched. The water in the creek rose just enough to make it flow beautifully right next to the wedding arch and during the ceremony, the sun came out so bright, so warm, and shined directly on us that it was absolutely like a scene from a movie. 

After the wedding, we recovered from all of the stressful planning during our honeymoon in Valencia, Spain. Oh man, let me tell you about Spain. Our honeymoon had a lot less honey and a lot more.....Bi-polarism from the locals. We met a handful of sweet, genuine hearts while the majority of the people we met were discouraging and, as I said, bi-polar. At least that's what we decided. We would go out to eat and when we greeted the local waiters and waitresses, we spoke in our broken Spanish but when we couldn't speak more than one sentence or understand whatever they were saying to us in Spanish, we tried to talk in English to them but they couldn't understand us and would get moody about it. One of the times, the staff had us wait 30 minutes for our Tostinos looking/tasting pizza and it came out completely burnt to a crisp. It sucked how bad they treat tourists. BUT Valencia and its architecture is amazing and I loved all of the cafes in front of the restaurants everywhere. It was so cute. Plus Adam and I fell in love with Aljibes Cabernet Franc wine. Yummmm!

Autumn 2008

My very best friend of 5 years and running.

We share everything together.

I've called her up crying and she's dropped everything

just to cheer me up and give me the best advice.

She's the kind of friend who you somehow manage not to see in a few months
but when we get together it's like we were never apart.
We have created trademarks with places we go to.
There's Lollicup, Peaberry's, Boulder to visit BriBear, and Huckleberry - our cute little tea & breakfast spot in Louisville.
Libby means the world to me and I wouldn't be the person I am today
if I had never met her.
She's flawlessly beautiful, graceful, charming, creative, hilarious, and the most caring person in the world.
The majority of my room decorations consist of the amazing posters she put together for me.
I couldn't replace this girl with anybody else, even if I really tried.

I would say we've been through thick and thin...but honestly,
everything we have been through together has been positive.
We've never fought or had drama.
She's been there to hold my hand through the few rough friendships
that have existed,
even when she said they weren't good to start with.

We're somehow so connected that we often have the same thoughts and ideas
and we even look alike to a lot of people.
When people first meet us they ask us if we're sisters.
Our cooking class teacher constantly got us confused during the class
that she ended up calling us "the twins" for the remainder of the school year.
We share one soul.
I don't know what I would do without my best friend, my twiny.

She leaves me the sweetest pick me ups in my mail box at work.
