It's the country life for us!

We've made it to Oklahoma and have been here 3 weeks. We've remodeled our house from a one bedroom, two bathroom daycare to a two bedroom, one bathroom house. It's tiny but it's working. We have all the main construction done, new walls, custom closets, and paint all completed by my wonderful hubby and myself with a little help from family here. We have about 80% of our stuff unpacked. I still have a few kitchen things to figure out a place for and LOTS of homeschooling and office stuff to figure out.

I'm actually surprised at how well everything is fitting. I will post some pictures in the near future. We just got the computer set up and I have many more things to accomplish today before I can work on getting pictures.

Everything has been good so far and we are loving the country life! The boys have a fenced in yard that's close to an acre to explore. They have a trampoline that belongs to their cousins that they share and we just put together the swing set this morning. Not to mention all the great outside toys that Grandma and Popa sent with us.

Keep checking back for updates, pictures and fun things as we adjust from city/suburb life to the country life. Some things that will be coming in the future is chickens and goats and then next spring our very first garden that will be the back unfenced acre! Between the big bugs and spiders and the fact that I've never had a green thumb and my fear of chickens promises for some laughs for you!

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...
