Colorado

Emily and I just returned July 8th from a trip out to Colorado with my family. We spent 5 days in the Rocky Mountains around Estes Park. We had a wonderful time with the family...hiking, eating, reading, drinking coffee and green tea (for Emily:-) and more hiking. 5 of us: Emily and I, Eric and his fiancee Liz and Tim all hiked Mt. Ypsilon on Monday. I was pretty impressed the girls made it all the way to the summit and they could have kept going further. - Allyn

Grandparents and two Emilys

In Target and loving it:-)

Emily was here in Manhattan for the weekend...it was glorious! My grandparents were in town from Wichita, we spent some time with them on Saturday and then headed off to register for our wedding. We had a great time wandering aisles and thinking about weddings. I think the best thing we found was the cutest little softball glove for Emily...Fun!

Emily is off to Scottsbluff this week for a CEF camp...we're planning to go to church together on Sunday, spend the afternoon with friends and then head to Omaha for a family reunion on Memorial Day.

Introduction

Welcome to our blog! My name is Allyn Weddle, from Manhattan KS and the most wonderful thing about this blog is that I can share it with my fiancee', Emily Baltensperger, who is from Nebraska for the next 21 weeks exactly (but who is counting?). We'll work on getting our blog 'up to speed' with some pictures and other fun stuff like wedding plans and such.

Blessings,
