Whew! I can relax...but only for a moment

Whew! The last few months have been TOTALLY crazy here! I have been working on our house renovation, planning and implementing my daughters bridal shower, then her wedding (which was this past weekend!), helping our church out with a new childrens bible school wing, packing & then moving us all in with my parents, then packing again to head out for a weeks vacation (which was the week before my daughters wedding...ugh, bad timing!), and lets not include still working night shift 44 hours a week ! I AM TIRED!!!

But, I will say....there is ONE positive thing about everything happening all at one time. The fact that most everything is over ALL at one time! Everything, except, for our home renovation. But, now I can concentrate exclusively on just that! So, the next 2 months I will be doing just that!

I did wanna share with you a few pictures though of the BEAUTIFUL "Weekend Wedding" that my daughter had! YES, you read that right....we had a whole Weekend Wedding! It was on her grandfathers 172 acre farm! There were Tenters there, RV's there, family & friends that stayed in the 8 bedroom farmhouse, and family & friends that rented "blocked" rooms at the nearest hotels!

It all started with Friday nites Wedding Rehersal. This was not only shared with the bridal party, but all those that showed up from different cities & states to attend! We had over 50 people just that evening for an outdoor feast!

Then Saturday we were up and early to get ready for the Wedding! We had another beautiful day with lots of sunshine and low humidity! We had over 160 guests attend! It was a beautiful ceremony that led into an evening of eating, dancing & enjoying the cool 60 degree nite! We had so much to do there from Dancing under the pavillion (that was built this year by my daughters dad & family), Various outdoor games, Sitting by the Campfire roasting marshmallows & making smores, to enjoying the end of the evening with a wonderful slideshow of the bride & groom (from birth to now) which was shown on the side the Barn that sits next to the farmhouse!

On Sunday morning, we were up early again to begin cooking Breakfast! We had over 50 people that showed back up to eat before they were on their way home from a fun-filled weekend! After Breakfast, we all cleaned up the Farmhouse Grounds and headed back home.


It was such a wonderful weekend! Here are just a few of the pictures that I took over the weekend!

The Ceremony took place right in front of the Farmhouse

Wayyyyy down in the front yard is where most of the Bridal Party pictures were taken. Here is the Bride & Groom sharing a kiss.

The Wedding Party. My son is the last one of the left, and my other 2 daughters are the 3rd & 4th from My oldest daughter, the Bride.

I love this picture, it is taken in front of an antique rake that sits in the front yard of the farm.

Standing on the steps of the farmhouse.

Everyone enjoying the feast under the canopies! You can see some of the RV's way down in the yard!

The head table with the Bridal Party. Behind them, you can see part of the pavillion that was built for the Wedding. Inside the window is a fully equipped restuarant quaility kitchen for cooking! They spared NOTHING when building this!
