Dear Friends & Family,
The past few weeks have been a whirlwind. We've been busy with moving, house hunting, work, school, and all the other things that go along with life. So, we decided to take a little detour from it all to celebrate...celebrate a very special birthday. Now where I come from birthdays are a big deal. It's the one day of the year where it should be all about you. So this weekend was all about him. We celebrated 31 years of his life together. We napped in a hammock, drank wine, rode horses, and just relaxed.
. 
So if you have never visited Estes Park or Rocky Mountain National Park, it's a must do! This was his first trip, my second. I wish we could have spent more time in the mountains, but I'm grateful for the time we had. I'm also grateful the weather held out long enough for us to ride horses, something else he'd never done.

I hope he enjoyed his birthday weekend as much I did! It was different for us, but something we definitely want to do again. Big thanks to Janie & Oliver at the Dripping Springs Resort for providing us with the best experience ever...it wouldn't have been the same without them and their awesome B&B.
I know this post wasn't about our move or a new house or Nebraska at all, but I hope you enjoyed it just the same. More pictures of the progress to come really soon, so keep checking back!
Much love,
Shannon
P.S. Happy birthday to Burdette...I know I've said it half a dozen times over the last week, but I hope we have a million more birthdays to celebrate together. :)
