We went to Boulder.

Hurray, birthdays!
Mine was in January, but my Main Man bought me tickets for a concert in March, so we got to celebrate in our classic quick trip way.
I am spoiled.
  






Don't even get me started on this pizza. Heart eyes for days. If you're in town, check out Pizeria Locale (and be sure to go at happy hour).








Live music is a love language of mine, and this was so.good. I didn't really know anything about Jessica Lea Mayfield, except that she had scary eyes.. but her voice. Oh.My.Lanta. I am a huge fan of the Avett Brothers so Seth Avett was a no brainer... the two of them together -magic. Love. Unfortunately, I didn't get any good pictures of the concert since we were seated too far back and I only had my 50mm lens. Sad Face.




Of course we hunted down All The Coffee. 
Boulder Baked was fun.. because. well. Baked. But the espresso was less than impressive. Unfortunately we were there directly after stuffing ourselves with pizza so we didn't try any of the baked goods. We'll have to check it out next time ;) (Don't worry, mom, there was no weed in their food).








The Laughing Goat was fantastic. We wandered down town after the concert and were drawn in by the sound of live jazz. Fantastic espresso. Plus people watching. And the baristas were super friendly and helpful! Plus are you kidding me with that flower beard?! I wanted it.








We stayed in the Hotel Boulderado downtown, which was a block away from the Boulder Theater. It is a beautiful historic building and our only problem was not being able to stay longer. Also: Hurray for valet parking! We just let them park our car and walked everywhere (which wasn't far to go since we were downtown). Plus, then we didn't have to worry about parking, which everybody said they were super strict about.







Favorite coffee place was the Boxcar hands down. Because baristas in bowties plus a CHEESE COUNTER?!?! And bread and bacon. Love.

Oh my goodness, that pizza. Delayed birthday concert weekends are some of my favorite things. Looks like a blast for you guys!

sounds like you had way too much coffee…and you were probably so high on caffeine that you had a hard time getting home...

Five Minute Friday: After

Image
It's the week After Easter... Resurrection Sunday... celebration of New Life and Power over Death.  Last week was good.  I had some good reads last week: Love to the Uttermost , The Jesus Storybook Bible , Galatians , John , The Story of Hope .  I listened to a Resurrection playlist that was over 8 hours long so I don't think that I ever made it all the way through.  I had encouraging time with my church family here as we celebrated the Truth of the Gospel. And now, the Week After, I am feeling a little ...overwhelmed? let down?   Because After Easter I have only 3 weeks left of class.  And After Easter I only have one week left with my Moving Friends.  And After Easter I only have a month left with Friends who are here for school.  And After Easter life seems so.... well. anti climactic?  Which is all ridiculous because the whole beautiful thing about the week after the Resurrection is purpose and hope  Before it was me the hopeless and helpless los

The Best Day Ever

Image
Holy smokes, it's been a year already! You know what they say, time flies when you're having fun! ;) Since I didn't really blog at all about the Best Day Ever that happened last year, I thought I would steal a Q&A idea from some of my favorite photographers . We both answered these questions separately, so it was fun to get together and read our answers and pick pictures. :) Note: all pictures in this post by the one and only Clara Williams Photography. What was the most memorable moment?  Liz:  So many moments to choose from! Here's a few that stand out:  My nephew Jared and new B.I.L, Joel, caught a baby rabbit and brought it to me while the girls and I were getting ready (it was sooooo soft!).  My original B.I.L, Jason, "You're a mess!" as he attempted to clean grass that had gotten stuck in my dress train when I was getting ready to walk down the aisle.  Praying with my dad and mom just before we went down
