This is one of my favorite engagement pictures (THANKS STEPH!). To me, this is what best friends look like, this is what love looks like, This is what makes me smile.
I'm pretty excited to start this blog. Maybe it's because I'm a blog junkie myself. I love reading up on what's going on in peoples lives.
What are you going to find in this blog? That's really quite hard to tell. It might be a place for me to vent, for me to share joys, for me to share part of our wedding plans, for you to keep up with what's going on in our lives, you might find yourself included in this blog. It really has no specific purpose except for US!
So as far as US, right now, here's whats going on! We are still working hard on making our house a home. Our dear friends, Ben & Jean, are letting us use one of their tables (Thank God for them! I was starting to get VERY tired of eating in the living room). My mom came down and left LOTS and LOTS of house magazines, so everyone feel very sorry for Dan because his Honey-Do list might get quite lengthy. I decided on colors for painting most of the rooms (still can't figure out what color will go with the ORANGE carpet in our bedroom) so i'm very excited to start painting. We've got our garden going and we both love it. It's been fun to watch things grow, has been a great project, and will be even more fun to eat it all! The rest of the yard is slowly looking better. My rose bush is doing quite well and I'm pretty proud of it. Dan put up a hitching post in the front corner and I'll give him lots of credit, it looks great! We put up a bird feeder and i'm still not quite sure about that little ordeal. Usually all that's in our yard is ugly black birds, however, Saturday we spotted a pretty little finch. Hopefully, those black birds keep eating at the feedyard and only pretty birds are in my feeder. Also, hopefully I don't CATCH Dan shooting at the pretty birds (I know he's gonna do it, just hope I don't catch him in the act).
As for Dan, he is now officially a farmer! He is so excited! He found a small little pasture to rent and can't hardly contain himself. He's got everything worked out and is ready to start working on the fence. I've never met anyone who works harder or can't stand to be inside more. It should be a good deal for him and a nice little revenue earning hobby.
WEDDING PLANS! are going very very well! I have loved a lot of this planning. Almost everything has just kinda fallen into place for us. There have been a few things and a few moments where it hasn't gone well, but such is life. We've got so many things done already and I've had some great help! Dresses are picked out, ordered, and everyone's fits (just waiting on Sharon's to get here)! HUGE RELIEF Decorations are coming together well. Flowers are almost done, just a few more boutonnieres left. We've got centerpieces all worked out and done. Thanks Meagan for letting us use your left overs! Our bouquets are absolutely gorgeous and wouldn't have turned out half as well if it wasn't for my mom spending her Mother's Day weekend helping me. Isn't she the best? We have incorporated pheasant feathers into alot of the decorations and all of the flowers and I love it. The feathers even worked to get Dan interested in our flowers (not whole heartedly but at least he looked at them). There won't be any pictures until after the wedding because some things have to be a surprise!! :)
That'll pretty much catch you up to today but we have so many wonderful things to look forward to this summer/fall!
