the w.e. chronicles: Enjoying the Old and the New

So we'll start with the old.

Meet the newest member of the Strickland musical ensemble!

We found this treasure at a yard sale on Saturday for $5! Sounds like a combination of an accordion and an organ. I (Will) have been writing some new songs lately and you had better believe that this little treasure is going to have it's time to shine.

This past week the Wagle's (some beautiful friends of ours that live in Colorado Springs) graciously invited us to join them for Saturday and Sunday up at a condo in Breckenridge, CO... and so we DID! Here are a few pics of our time up there which basically included the beauty of new flowers blooming EVERYWHERE! We couldn't believe how it looked and felt like spring up there! The 72 degrees was a welcomed change from the triple digits we had left just hours before. This was our first little get away since getting married and we were so grateful.
