Last Few Days of Wedding Preparations
It was less then a week before the wedding and the weather was bad. It was cold and we even had snow flurries. We had to bundle up in our jackets to work outside. The worst day we looked out side and saw this… We’ve seen rainbows in our valley but not for a long time and this one was directly over where the wedding was going to be in just 5 days. How remarkable! A coincidence? I’m not so sure. The weather warmed up from that day and the day of the wedding it was the warmest day in the whole week. Typically there would be no cause to…

Building Our Own Coffee Trailer for Our Daughter’s Wedding Part II
Renovating a very run down trailer was not for the faint of heart but my son tackled it and made it into a very usable and cute little coffee trailer for my daughter’s wedding.

A very run down, falling apart little trailer. Bells started clanging in Serenity’s head when she saw the trailer. Ding, ding, ding… “this…

Celebrating the Big 16
Sixteen. Do you remember when you were turning that age? Oh, how grown-up we felt. Justus turned 16 this past April and I decided to throw him a surprise party. He had no idea because even I had no idea until a few days before! haha On his birthday we had a birthday supper for him but this was something different and it was a complete surprise. We did have a few glitches but what surprise party doesn’t?! Everyone was supposed to be here but there were two guests that hadn’t arrived. They were busy having a little too much “fun” on our dirt road and had had a little…

A Beautiful Outdoor Bridal Shower
What an absolutely beautiful day Serenity had for her shower. So much effort went into making it a special occasion and we just enjoyed ourselves immensely. (April 2019)
