  12. I grew up in Colorado. Dunton Hot springs used to be a out of the way run down secret and I loved it. once we went there for Thanksgiving and our cabin had snow drifts coming in the door so we all hung out in the kitchen with the cook. The room was $30 dollars a night and the dinner was $10. We pretended that it was the other way around because the dinner and the people we met were AMAZING. When I was really young I thought that the hot springs were magical because a splinter I had in my hand fell out and I sore up and down it was the magic water that 'healed' me. haha! Wow... you just brought back memories!!!

  19. Oh man, I want to love this. I truly do. The family, the landscape, the flowers, the hot tub (oh, the hot tub!), everything is so beautiful...except the poor pig on the spit. Really unnecessary and disgusting, ruins the whole thing for me. :(

  38. I found your blog via a tweet from Frye Boots back before Christmas, and now I am so in love. I so look forward to my 10 minutes of "jo time" every day (I usually try to check in after a stressful conference call or crazy morning of meetings. Reading the blog is becoming such a nice way to decompress for a few minutes). Love the beautiful, thoughtful and inspiring posts like this one about this beautiful, sweet wedding. Everything you write is so totally up my alley. Don't know how I hadn't found you sooner. Thank you!

    That wedding was very pretty, but could not have just happened, because there is probably 4 feet of snow there now. It obviously took place in early fall. Congrats to the couple!
