We had a great time in Colorado over the weekend for Landon and Whitney's wedding. We've gotten to know them well over the past year and a half and love them so much. They are both sweet, caring, easy-going, fun-to-be-around, make-you-feel-good people. (OK, easy on the hyphenating, Kate.) We broke up the trip by spending Friday night at my aunt and uncle's house in Amarillo, so we enjoyed visiting with them a bit. On Saturday we got into Colorado Springs about 1:00, and got a call from Zach asking if we could do a favor. "Sure," I say, "we can't check into our hotel until 3:00 anyway." "OK, here's the deal..." He continues to explain how the tux rental shop didn't have one of the groomsman's pants, and we could either A) find pants that match the groomsmen's suits, or B) that groomsman could wear the groom's and we could get a new suit for Landon. So we go to the hotel where the wedding party is staying, pick up Zach, and head to the mall to find a new suit for the groom without him there and without him or Whitney even seeing it. I loved what Zach said on the phone to Kara as we were on our way, "We're about to call a Sheets family audible." In fact, there were lots of sports lingo being passed around: The pressure's on, we got to knock this one out of the park, it's game time, rise to the occasion team, etc. Fortunately, like I said earlier in my run of excessive hyphenation, Landon and Whitney are cool and calm, and just excited to be getting married, so it wasn't quite as stressful as it could've been. Landon said to me, "Hey, I'll be getting married no matter what I'm wearing." And it all worked out fine. Landon looked so handsome, Whitney was gorgeous--just like a photo from a bridal magazine, and the wedding was beautiful. We had a great time, and are so happy for them.

You can kind of see in this picture where the wedding took place behind us. It was outside in this courtyard area in front of a beautiful building. And it was in Colorado, so the weather was great. I was sad we didn't get to stay longer than a night there and enjoy Colorado a little more, but we'll be going back in July for Trek, so that made leaving the mountains a little easier.
