tim & i are having such a lovely time in colorado.
we celebrated our first anniversary on sunday.
we decided to start this little tradition...
to take a photo like this, and eventually we'll have portraits from each year!


i surprised tim with a private showing of our wedding video.
i set it up in a tiny one-screen theatre in a nearby town.
it was so magical!
the owner made us mimosas, and let us have the theatre all to ourselves.
(and here's what we watched...our sweet little wedding video!)
Peters Wedding // Tim + Christen from AleaLovely on Vimeo.
we're staying in my family's cabin in a town called silverthorne.
it's a beautiful town in the mountains.


(beautiful mountains everywhere!!)
we've been doing some super fun things.
yesterday we went white-water rafting (something i've always wanted to try!)
it was so much fun.
tim & i were the only ones crazy enough to raft on such a cold day.
but the company sent us out with SIX instructors!
they all just loved being on the river so much,
they jumped at the opportunity to go with us...so fun ;)
and today we took a breathtaking trip on a steam train.
it was quite amazing.

i hope you're all having a lovely week as well!
i have lots more photos to share once we're home.
xoxo.

pretty outfit and so romantic ;)
ReplyDeleteand happy anniversary for both of you! :D
The steam train picture is amazing! Oh my gosh Im so jealous! I think Aaron would loooove it. I think in order for us to take a trip like this I'd have to totally surprise Aaron with it all. I haven't figured out how to do that yet. He is hard to convince to take leisure trips... I think he'd be really good at being on them though. Haha. Oh brother. ........ PUMPED you guys are getting to do this. And it's impressive that you can keep readers posted too.
ReplyDeleteohhh my - I am so glad I stumbled across your blog - when I saw you suggesting Maria Taylor music to someone I knew I had to check you out. How adorable are you and your hubby and I love your picture a year idea - happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteAwww what a cute post :)

ReplyDeletegoosies and tears!!!!! omg Christen that video is so amazingly awesome. from beginning to end perfection. you two are adorable and i love all the prep time inclusions. your choice of florals and mason jars is rad and then the ceremony. oh boy, when i saw your dad wipe his eyes (i'm sure that's YOUR dad, right?) i almost lost it right there. how darling is he? and then Tim's little kick in the air - pure joy!
