Blogging, or lack thereof

So, as you may have noticed, I have not been blogging as much as I used to. With the holidays, a few freelance design projects, busy weekends, wedding planning and my new job, I have been a little tight on time. Well, I finally made myself sit down and update the past month or so. Below you will find four new posts to enjoy, light on the copy side of things, but some great photos to check out. I got a sweet new camera from Melissa's parents for Christmas that I have been trying out. Takes some great photos!

Our wedding planning has been moving along quite well. Still lot's to do, but it feels somewhat under control at this time. You can see our wedding web site HERE. Our Save the dates went out in the mail:


My new job has been very hectic, but is starting to come together with some exciting new packaging design and branding projects.
Example:


Headed out to Vail Pass this weekend to make some turns on a snowmobile. Have not been on one in a while, so should be interesting. Keep an eye out for some photos from that, hopefully sooner than later.

Peace!

Crested Butte

This weekend we enjoyed one of my gifts to Melissa for Christmas ... a ski weekend in Crested Butte, CO. I've been here a couple times before, but it was Melissa's first visit. A 5.5 hour drive from Denver (well worth it for no traffic and no lines at the lifts, unlike Summit County and Vail). We stayed Friday night through Sunday. On Saturday we skied as it snowed all day, then Sunday we took a 4 mile snowshoe on the road to Gothic (closed in the winter, goes to Aspen in the Summer). We enjoyed the local shops and restaurants in town and even got in a couple more Breweries on the way (Gunnison Brewery and Amica's Brewery). The drive home was a bit longer due to an hour long road closure on 285 as the snow blew across the plains and iced up the road. Four vehicles had flipped in the icy conditions. We made it across slowly and in one piece.

Taylor Wedding in Vail

Eric Taylor, an old roommate from Breckenridge and fellow employee from the Summit Daily News, got married in Vail to Stephanie Feldhaus. We attended the ceremony at the Vail Interfaith Chapel in the center of Vail Village and then the reception at the Eagle/Vail Pavilion just down valley. There was a light snow during the ceremony and some great BBQ and drinks at the reception. All the best to Eric and Steph in their future life together!!

Mountain Wine Tasting

We decided to spend the weekend in Keystone and bring along a bunch of wine to taste for our wedding. Each person brought along a white and a red under $15. We cooked up a great dinner and tasted all the wines, judging each as we went along. We found a few winners and will try them again over the next few months. On Saturday we took some runs at Breckenridge, then went for a hike out behind the condo on Sunday.

Vail Powder Day!

A great day at Vail. 9 inches new reported, but there was much more than that in the back bowls!! Knee to waist deep in areas. Melissa disappeared a few times. Should have brought our snorkels. Great day!!
