We had such a fabulous time during our 2 weeks in the states. Thank you to all of our family and friends for making our trip so wonderful!

It was a busy few weeks with an engagement party, 2 stunning mountain weddings, a Broncos game (Rob’s first ever regular season NFL game), a Rockies game (Todd Helton’s last home game)…

…plenty of day hikes in the mountains, walks and runs, golfing, story telling, Tim Tam Slams…

…minding the kids, awkward O’Keefe family photos (see below)… the list doesn’t stop…. But it was all worth it! All said and done, we stayed at 8 different places over the course of 16 days! A special thanks to The Ralph’s, Al, Jeremy, Maria, Kristen and The Schneider’s for giving us a pillow to sleep on during our time at home.

And thank you for those who made the trek to Ft Collins for our engagement party – during some of the worst flooding Colorado has seen in years.  Luckily, the skies cleared and it turned out to be a lovely afternoon at The Ralph’s in FoCO!!  Thanks for hosting, Mom/Mum/Maureen and Dad!!!

We were lucky enough that two of my best friends had their weddings back to back weekends so we were able to make both of them. Another beautiful mountain wedding, this one in Vail at the Arabella Hotel. Sam had two roles in this wedding; groom and wedding planner and he nailed both of them.

Lots more babies around since last time we were home, that’s for sure!
Great to meet Luke and Lila for the first time.. Another awesome weekend! Between the weddings and get togethers, we were able to see so many good friends. Reminded us that it is time to get back home!

Adam Schneider and Christie Hughes had their wedding at the amazing Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort and Spa. The entire weekend was spectacular; the Colorado fall colors were brilliant, the September weather was perfect and the people made the event that much more special.

They really went all out for this wedding. It was one of the larger weddings I have been to with over 250 guests including my mom and brother. The best part of the wedding was seeing all these guys who I haven’t seen in years. Although could have gone without seeing Birkel…

This was the first wedding I’ve been to that had a late night snack. Schneider and Christie were long gone before the snacks because they snuck out early.

They eventually kicked us out of the reception but not before we got a
picture of the “last group sanding”. Kevin and Jackie Schneider were the MVPs of the last group. After a long night of dancing, it was time to lay down…
