Trip to Durango, Colorado--October 10th, 2009

Mike and I went to Durango, Colorado to attend Andrea Reich and Tim Scarberry's wedding. It was held at a beautiful, 10-acre ranch where Tim's aunt and uncle, Sue and George Pascetti live.

The large, converted bed and breakfast home below belongs to Sue and George, and Sue even gave us a tour of the 8 bedroom house during the reception! Below is a picture of Sebastian and me in front of the house. We took him with us to Durango, since Jessica had left a day earlier with Andrea and Tim. She was one of her bridesmaids and had a lot of work to do before the wedding!

Andrea and Jessica are best friends from elementary school. Andrea is Jessica's oldest and dearest friend. Mike and I were happy we made the guest list and were able to go.

Check out the brook nearby, where Mike and I embrace for a romantic pose:
At the guest house, the bride and her attendants await their cue to walk outside towards the shady area where family and friends are gathered for the wedding.

The bride to be, Andrea, looking beautiful and elated:

Andrea's baby sister, Stephanie, was her maid of honor. Isn't she adorable?

The pastor gave a heart-felt and meaningful Christian marriage sermon, after which Andrea and Tim exchanged wedding vows that they had written for each other.

Andrea and Tim's wedding vows were beautiful, loving, and poetic, which made their wedding guests (and themselves) emotional and teary!
Exchanging wedding rings:
Andrea and Tim Scarberry kiss each other as husband and wife to seal the deal--and they'll live happily ever after:

EVERYBODY DANCE and let the partying begin!
Thank you Tim and Andrea for a wonderful time! We love you and your awesome families!

Ouray, Colorado--October 11th, 2009

We decided to take a little detour before heading back to Albuquerque the day after the wedding. We drove to beautiful Ouray, Colorado to see the city and to hike to some waterfalls. Below are Sebastian, me, and Jessica enjoying a hike to one of the Falls:


Nature at its best, and Sebastian basking in nature's glory:
Boy that was FUN! Let's do it again and take the rest of the family along with us! Thank you Jess and Seb for spending the weekend with us. We love you!!

Awe! You guys got some really great pictures! I'm so glad that you were all there to share the day with us. It wouldn't have been a party without the Hobbs and the Dunlap families! I'm also glad that you were able to enjoy some more of Colorado's beautiful fall colors before returning to Albuquerque...It was the best weekend we could have chosen for all those brightly colored trees!
