Today's Gratitude to the Max [Wedding Edition}

For the last several months, Dylan and I have been utterly overwhelmed with emotions of gratitude, love, excitement, and stress... stress that we cannot even begin to express how thankful we are for everyone in our lives both present for our wedding and absent due to babies, weddings, and other wonderful reasons.
We are so beyond grateful for...
Amy for planning one heck of a bachelorette party and all my girls for coming to celebrate with me. You guys are all the best group of girls I could ever hope for. I am SO lucky. You've all been there through my best and worst and love me so fully.

Trudy and Amy for hosting the loveliest bridal shower filled with the most beautiful wildflowers, bike decor, and friends and family surrounding. And all the lovely ladies that showered me with so many sweet, personal gifts. I love you all!

ALL of our friends and family that came to celebrate with is. We've been wishing we could do it all over again so we could talk with each of you so much more! A special award for Edmond and Rachel for traveling from Australia and hanging with us all week! You all mean so much to us. Turning around after saying "I do," and seeing all your happy faces just lit up my heart. Holding back from hugging each and every one of you so we could take this picture was a struggle!
Look at that killer crew. 

All of our wonderful wedding vendors: Love Bridal Boutique for picking out a dress I wouldn't have given a chance but absolutely adored and want to wear every year.

Ashley Rodriguez for making my simple wildflower wedding dreams a reality.
 


      

Stephanie Gamble for the beautiful pictures. You captured so many amazing shots and candids. I can't stop looking at the pictures.

Tyler Sowers for being the most positive and easy going videographer we could've hoped for. The video is better than I could've imagined.

Meredith and Dixie with The Delightful Details for putting all of my scattered ideas into one beautiful wedding. I wasn't the least bit stressed about anything in the process or the day of. You guys are more of a blessing than you know!

Linda Grenville and the Punch Buggies for gracing us with the perfect tunes for our day. You exceeded our expectations with every song we requested, especially "Me and You and Sisi Laroo." :)

Uncle Kenneth for gracing us with your wonderful piano playing at the ceremony. It meant so much to have your talent to walk down the aisle to!

Cam for being our fantastic officiant. It was extra special having such a loving family member get us hitched.

All our wonderful readers, Lindsay, Aunt Karen, Amy and Jared.

Meryl, Chad, Amanda, Stephen, and The Ross crew for your sweet videos since you couldn't be physically here. What a sweet start to the celebration.

Benton for introducing me to this crazy kid. Never would've thought that silly message would lead to a marriage. We are grateful for your friendship more than you know!

Dylan's parents for getting everyone together for a fantastic rehearsal dinner. A special thanks for raising the man I always dreamed of.

And my parents for their endless love and support my entire dang life and making this day happen. You guys truly don't know how grateful I am for all you are and all you do.

We. Are. BLESSED. Holy moly. 
But really, can we do it all over again? We'll make it an all day affair, have bigger cups for your bevs, make sure you know you can dive into that keg, and party all day!

Tivoli and Rugby

         Adding another great week to the list for my time in Denmark. Last Tuesday, I went to an international gathering for students at DTU (Denmark Technical Institute) at the Cellar Bar. I met a couple cool people there from Belgium (Ruben), Canada, France, and Denmark and met back up with a couple of them on Friday night. We went to see one of their Spanish friends play a Latin set at a bar in the city. On our way there, we were a bit worried at how this place would be considering it was on the street well known for its... Services. But we got to the Luna Bar and it wound up being really fun. The band was actually excellent , and had everyone dancing. Ruben and his friends were a lot of fun to hang out with.          On Saturday, I went to Tivoli, the second oldest theme park, with the family and met Claus' parents and sister there. It's no wonder Tivoli inspired Walt Disney to do his own thing. It's a beautiful  amusement par...

Hej fra Danmark!

        So I've finally arrived in Denmark and all settled in already. It's awesome in every way so far; the parents are so friendly and cool, the kids are adorable, the weather is amazing (I'm the only one walking around in shorts, a T-shirt and sandals, of course), the house is a beautiful, cozy home built around 1921, I just got done with a little explorative walk and the neighborhood/area is picturesque with flowers everywhere, adorable homes, and a lake nearby... It's just wonderful.           Yesterday, after a little confusion about where to meet up, using a stranger's phone (as always), and wandering around a bit, Lotte and one of the kids picked me up from the airport greeting me with the sign shown below. We made it back to the house after a little detour (I guess Lotte gets distracted driving too!), and we had coffee. We had breads and cake they got from the bakery for me to try, and they were all delicious.       ...

Crater Lake Birthday {Dylan's 40th}

Dylan has never been a big birthday celebration guy. This year when I asked him what he wanted to do, he said something like, "I don't know. Maybe get some nice dinner around town somewhere?" But I on the otherhand  must celebrate birthdays. Especially Dylan's. This guy deserves a memorable celebration.  So I insisted we go to Crater Lake and it was so worth it. What an incredible, jaw dropping, thought provoking place. The first night, we sat enjoying the bluest waters with the perfect lighting. We camped at Mazama where we were all set up with our new camping boiler thing to cook up our freeze dried camping meals, new headlamps, coffee plans... and then ate some hot chili and a meal at the campground lodge. haha We at least enjoyed out coffee at the tent the next morning.  The next day was filled with three fantastic hikes to see the Watchman Lookout for epic views of this like 2000' deep, 7700 year old crater. Then we got a lovely wildflower loop and waterfall ...
