so where did we leave off oh yeah i need to tell you where i am so i left you guys hanging
and i didn't tell you where i was gonna be but today i'm telling you where i am
i'm in denver but first some very important business this is the smallest airplane ever
we will be getting i think a little bit too well acquainted during this video
i am sorry in advance my message to southwest airlines your bathrooms are very clean tidy i
didn't feel disgusting peeing in them however they were a little bit small i could use about
two more square feet thank you okay but for real i was so excited to be back on an airplane again
and let me know in the comments if you do the same maybe but one of my favorite things maybe
ever is being able to look down at the world as it passes by while on an airplane and obviously
it's been a minute since i've been able to do that and it made me kind of emotional
i don't know if that's weird anyway we landed in denver the denver airport is really weird
it for some reason always looks like it's under construction and then we went and got a rental car
because i was actually traveling with my boyfriend and his family for a very special event that
you'll learn more about in just a few minutes and the rest of this day it was a thursday was kind
of a wash we were all exhausted from traveling but the next day friday is when the fun began
friday morning we woke up early by my standards probably to no one else's now i had to say
bye to my boyfriend for the day because he went and rock climbed on the actual side of a mountain
with all the boys while i got to go and be pampered with all of the girls so we started out
at babes tea room in denver which was an adorable experience the food was actually really good
and i think i got like a chamomile lavender tea if i remember correctly [ __ ] was amazing
and then of course once the brunch was over we walked over and got our nails done
i realized during the brunch it was my first time like meeting
new people in a setting where i actually had to like describe like who i am what i do and i
think i literally said i just do a lot of creative things um including writing and they were like oh
so you're a writer and i was like uh-huh and guys i have to admit something i'm a lightweight and
also apparently altitude affects that as well so i had one drink this evening a singular drink and um
also i didn't realize how intense everyone was going to be about ping pong and because
of the effects of that one drink i thought i could um lightly talk smack to some of my
boyfriend's family members about how good i was and then i promptly lost really horribly
like ten to one it was like really genuinely fun though and then we went and
ran some errands yeah errands and then uh that evening i uh stayed up for half of the
night with a very upset stomach because i have ibs that gets um triggered by
alcohol she's fun at parties we had to wake up in the morning to get ready for
a wedding yup that's right a wedding that's what we were here for for my boyfriend's sister
and her now husband to get married they are two of the most amazing wonderful people in the entire
world and it was wonderful to be able to celebrate with them i honestly felt honored because it was
very very very close like family members and i got to be there and it was so beautiful
obviously i'm not going to show like anything because you know not my day but the place that
we were at was panorama point and it was one of the most breathtaking views i have ever
witnessed with my own two eyes the ceremony was incredible like they were just so many good vibes
don't forget all of those who you left on planes and
hello my name's melissa and today we are here at the mountains at the
mountain today we're going to go on a nice little tour uh black tie attire of oh no
yeah that's what altitude and asthma will do to you
so then because this day wasn't eventful enough i also checked off an item from my bucket list
so we quickly ran back home got changed and then went back out again because we were about to see
a band called green sky bluegrass which i just understood that pun today at red rocks
i have to tell you if you ever get the chance to see a performance at red rocks
do it it was such an amazing experience but one thing that i was definitely not prepared for
was the amount of freaking steps like i was already exhausted from being on a mountain for
half the day yeah to get to red rocks you have to like climb up a mountain why no one told me
this thankfully i had been doing the stairmaster a little extra before the trip without even knowing
so i was fine but i did get really anxious when we got to the top because i am afraid
of heights so it took me a few minutes to get like adjusted but once i like settled in we were good
at red rocks not only are you able to hear everything
like perfectly you're able to see everything perfectly no matter where you are
but you also get to look out and you see the moon and the stars and the lights of
all of the cities and towns in the area and of course i had always heard that red rocks
was an incredible experience but i truly didn't understand how incredible it was until i was there
