tell your ride

slowly getting caught up on life.

jeremy and i went to telluride a couple of weekends ago for a wedding. some of our trips are serious disasters, we have both learned to "manage expectations".

the trip started with a delayed flight out of waco, which meant that we would miss the connecting flight from dallas to colorado. while we were going through security at the airport here, a tsa agent found a saw in jeremy's backpack that he forgot to take out. serious questioning ensues, and somehow mr charmer of the year gets it back and takes it out to the car. nice one tex.

american airlines puts us up in a super 8 motel, not ideal, but we did meet a triple phd petroleum engineer on the van ride over.

our room

 for whatever reason, i had gone the whole day without eating and i found this fortune cookie in my bag at 10:30p, when we finally got to our room. how fortunate indeed! aa did end up issuing us meal vouchers so we ended up going to denny's with a friend, armando from michigan, who we met along the way.

 we caught a flight at 6a, hopped over to denver, and took our final to montrose. here is jse enjoying the fresh air, waiting for his bag.

 everyone told us to watch the fence line from montrose to telluride, that suddenly it would become super nice for miles. this nice fence and the 20,000 acres inside belongs to ralph lauren.

our hotel and room was awesome. you get a lot more bang for your buck here than in nyc.

the trees are like charcoal sketches

 my outfit to the rehearsal dinner, which i pretty much thought was the coolest thing i had worn all 2014. jse, not so much.

at the wedding the next day, we were supposed to go to the top of this mountain but it rained heavily the night before so the ceremony was held at the hotel. but the view was still spectacular.

 

 we hung around telluride for another half a day before we headed to grand junction, where we flew out of the next day.

not hard to spot the cowboy in the airplane.

 ...or in the airport

we were anxious to get home, so we could see this nuggie
