We Have Been Busy

It feels like we have been working on cleaning up the farm for the wedding since the beginning of time. In reality, it has only been a lifetime of weeekends. But we are making progress.

These are not authentic "Before" pictures--I've been too busy driving a tractor and fighting savage vines to take real photos--but they are damn well close enough.

Now use your imagination to mix all of those photos together, add in two litters of kittens (!), several cats, 2-4 dogs, a rambunctious 4 year-old, chickens, plenty of open space and lots of SKY, and you have a pretty good picture of how much of my free time has been spent in the past couple months.

I am not complaining (much). I have certainly done the lesser amount of work between Bobby and myself. He spends most evenings there, in addition to the weekends. It has been good, in more ways than we can describe, for us to work together on this, and it's going to make the wedding that much more rewarding and unique and fun.

But DAMN it's been a lot of hard work. When do we get to the part where we're filthy rich and have servants who do everything for us while we run off on exotic vacations every other weekend?

I cannot end this post without acknowledging the time and labor of our good friends who have spent their own precious free time with us, working hard, getting dirty, and listening to me whine (loudly). Thank you guys.
