Spiedel Wedding In Sun Valley

This weekend we went to Sun Valley for the wedding of one of my most long standing friends, Micheal Spiedel.  Michael and I go back to the third grade if you can believe it.  It was so wonderful to be able to see someone whom I have known for so long tie the knot to the love of his life, Sara.  The ceremony was wonderful with a mix of Jewish, Catholic and Lutheran traditions.  These two certainly chart their own path and no doubt have a wonderful life of many new adventures together in front of them. I did a terrible job taking photos at the wedding because I only got one and it did not even include the beautiful bride! 

There are certain people who define certain eras in your life.  For me, my high school years were in large part defined by these boys (now men).  Michael and Ty were two of my very best friends.  I recognize that it was a little weird to have two guys as such good friends, but it didn't really matter to me. Besides them tutoring me through pre-calc (Ty) and U.S. History (Michael), we also talked nightly and had a host of teenage adventures as the perfect group of three. We all went our separate ways for college, but have all moved back to Boise and have reunited. Michael was the last of the three of us to get married and I can happily say that each of Michael and Ty's wives are as wonderful as they are.  Now there is a perfect 3 and 3 balance of ladies v. men.  Let the new chapter of adventures begin.

Chris and I took on our 24 hours up in Sun Valley with as much gusto as we could.  I had not been to Sun Valley in probably 15 years and Chris had never been so it was fun to see a new place together.  Aside from enjoying the wedding and all the festivities that come along with it, we had a nice run and took a hike up Bald Mountain (the Sun Valley Ski Resort). The views of Ketchum and the surrounding Sawtooth Mountains were amazing.   I can see why so many celebrities flock to Sun Valley, it sure is a gorgeous place.
