Summer Weddings and Swimming Lessons

Trenton and I were lucky enough to get invited to one of the most elegant weddings I've ever attended at the Briarhurst Manor in Manitou Springs. It was especially sweet because that is where Trenton proposed to me in July 2004. The decorations were gorgeous (they had a dropped ceiling made of pearls!) and the food was delicious, and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. I love summer weddings.

This is where he proposed, in a white lit, tree blanketed gazebo that was sprinkled with multi-colored rose petals.

In other news, Emma started swimming lessons last week. I've never seen her so excited about anything before. Her favorite part was the Little Mermaid goggles Aunt Shanny brought her. She wore them for several days straight. I had to be sure she wasn't wearing them at night so her eyes would have a chance to breathe.

Trenton has almost finished our deck. It's so much done that we were able to have Shannon and Steve over for dinner al fresco. I promise we'll finish it this week and I'll post pictures.

Love,

Janet, Trenton, Emma, and Ben
