A Barn Wedding It Is!

I think I mentioned on here before that my dad was going to ask a couple he has done work for over the years if we could use their barn for our wedding. Well when he first asked if they rented it out they said no, but then she asked who he was asking for. When he told her it was for me she said it would be no problem. So I went out there with my mom and dad to check it out. It's absolutely perfect!!!! Last year their daughter got married there. Dad did lots of work on the barn, put in a brick floor and built them a bar. They still have all the hooks to hang lights on the fence posts along the road and coming into the farm. I will be using those. The big Oak tree where the ceremony will be still has lights in it and they work.

The inside is just big enough for the food and drinks and a few tables. Both sides have a covered pad for more tables. This side even has a sign showing where the bar is located. I will have to have a tent in the pasture for the dance floor and a few more tables. My aunt can't wait to get out there so she can start creating her vision for decorations and lights. I'm very blessed that she is taking care of all the decorations and flowers, with my help of course. She has waited all my life for this day. I'm the only girl on my mom's side of the family.

Anyways. It's going to be an amazing place for pictures too. I may see if I can take some of my bridal pictures out there. If you walk down to the next pasture, there's another huge Oak tree with a wooden swing. Right now one of the ropes is broken, but that can be fixed. Right next to the edge of the woods sits a remodeled cabin (also done by dad) with a little bridge to cross the very tiny ditch.

Inspired by Pinterest

I've been wanting to try these Chicken Lasagna Roll-ups I found on Pinterest. Since Kev's been working out of town, I figured it would be a great dish for this week. I could keep some and he could take the rest with him. (I also made Mexican Cornbread too.) Eating out every meal gets old. Anyways. Here is the original recipe. I changed it up some. I mixed together 15 oz. ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, egg, thawed frozen spinach (squeeze water out of it), and chicken (I always use a rotisserie chicken). Seasoned it with salt, pepper, garlic, and a little Italian seasoning. I never measure, just add a palmful until it tastes like I want it to. Mixture I grabbed a handful of the mixture and spread it onto the noodle and rolled it up. Leave a little space at the end so the mixture doesn't gush out when you roll it up. Once all of them are made, I poured the tomato sauce I made yesterday over them. I added a little water to my sauce to thin it o...

Can't Wait to Finally Have a Garage!

This morning it was 28 degrees outside! I warmed my car up for 20 minutes and all the frost still wasn't off the windows. I can't wait til next winter when I will have a garage to park in. Not only for winter months but all months truly. In the fall I always get acorns and leaves stuck in my window. In the summer my car is always covered in bird poop and hot and in spring it's covered in pollen. Just one of the reasons I'm so excited about building a house. Having garage to park in!

A Garage, Some Wires, and a Bunny

I guess I decided it was time to tackle this garage and all of Kev's materials. I still had his tool box to clean out and all his tools. Before During After Still lots of gutter material and junk, but at least it's organized and easy to find. This is what the cords under the TV looked like! Talk about make you crazy. I pout Cody to work get them organized and bond together. I guess I didn't upload the after picture. Indy found a foot to some bird. Too large for chicken, maybe a turkey. I remember rescuing this baby rabbit. I think I found it in the garage. I saved it from the dogs.

In This Crazy Life...
