Travel Plans

The ceremony will be April 22nd at 2, with a reception to follow. While we have limited seating in the church, everyone is invited to the reception. Parents and witnesses are welcome/encouraged to come early for last minute preparations and a night on the town!

I went ahead and reserved 20 rooms at the Hampton Inn here in Laramie for a rate of $78 per room/per night. It is the newest hotel here in town and they have a wonderful hot breakfast, free Internet, indoor pool, hot tub, elevators, etc. 10 of the rooms are 2 queen size beds (for families or friends who might want to share) and 10 are with king size beds. Guest can make reservations by calling 307-742-0125 by March 21st. (Beyer-Sherwood Wedding) All rooms are non-smoking.
You can view the hotel at: http://hamptoninn.hilton.com/en/hp/hotels/index.jhtml;jsessionid=UJUZOXMY3AA12CSGBIYM22QKIYFCXUUC?ctyhocn=LARWYHX

Or if you’d prefer something less expensive (Motel 6, 1-800-466-8356) or a B&B, check out: http://www.laramie-tourism.org/index.php for a complete list of hotels. I won’t recommend the Howard Johnson. The Travel Lodge is already booked, but the Days Inn is nice (clean and roomy). The Days Inn is close to the prison, less than 3 min.
1368 McCue St.800-329-7466
If you’d prefer a B&B in town: The Brick Bed and Breakfast has 3 rooms, nonsmoking rooms, a spa and fitness center and is close to historic downtown and the UW campus.102 S. 5th307-745-4390. The Owners are Penny and Gary Espeland. If you decide to stay here, please tell them I sent you.
Really, everything is close. Anything on 3rd St. should be within walking distance of historic downtown (food and shopping).

The BIG Date


Ok, so yes, I’ve been slack about postings. Writing now because Jason and I FINALLY picked a date for the wedding!!! Horns blowing, bells clanging, here is the big announcement: April 22nd here in Laramie, Wyoming. We will be having a very small ceremony in the country church on the historic site with a great big reception to follow in the Horse Barn. For those of you who won’t be able to make it to Wyoming (not that you are not invited) we are having a second reception in Georgia May 6th.

While we were in Georgia, I found my dress, picked my colors, and asked a lot of you for help! (Thanks in advance for everything.) Jason and I were so blessed to be able to spend time with our friends and family. We had Christmas early at my parent’s house with my brother and his new wife. Grandma was anxious to get her hands on Jason’s cowboy hat and Grandpa showed off his musical talents on the violin. (All you do is touch the strings and it plays a pre-recorded song!)

Our time flew by so fast there were many of you who we didn’t get to see or spend enough time with. I’m sorry for that but I hope we can make up some lost ground during our next trip home in May.

We are home safe, enjoying the cold and snow. Jason’s parents purchased snowmobiles this week and we are hoping to get up into the mountains the first of January. We are spending Christmas with Jason’s family in Wheatland this weekend (if Jason can get away from the poachers, car thieves, and elk counting in 18 inches of snow).

More to follow…The Treysons

Holidays

Sherwood-Hoffman Clan

Jason & I spent Thanksgiving in Casper with his family. Everything was wonderful! Turkey was great & playing Uno Attack with the guys was a rewarding venture. (For some reason, Dad & Grandpa kept getting all the cards?!?) Of course, Jason still had to work so I patrolled with him… in the snow. It was so beautiful, and a little slick. In fact, I stayed in Casper an extra day because the roads were so bad.


The weather is still questionable this weekend so I’m at home in Laramie & Jason is working… 150 miles apart & missing each other. (I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.) But, there is only a week left before we go to Georgia! I’m SO excited. Family, friends, & warmer weather. (I'm hoping to thaw out some.)


Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays. Still no definite wedding plans, but we’ll keep everyone posted.
