Beautiful Wedding!

Check out this amazing picture of my brother and his then-fiance/now-wife... Their wedding was last weekend and it was lovely. Here are a few more of their engagement pictures: katie lewis photography  I cannot wait to see the pictures of their wedding!

Our whole family went to the wedding together, and the kids were amazing.  They are so much easier to travel with these days. They can handle changes in their sleep schedules, don't always melt down when they are hungry, enjoy meeting new people, and generally are a blast to be around and make me so, so proud.

The kids are staying with my mom and dad this week, which is WAY far away from me in Minnesota.  I miss them!  And Beloved is traveling for work this week AND next week.  I miss him too.   I'm not gonna lie, our schedules lately have been...  harsh.  (I was going to go with "brutal" or "intolerable" but didn't want to sound too overdramatic.  How am I doing with that?) 

It's totally weird to be home in the evening by myself.  I'm terrible about going to sleep when Beloved is gone, which is why I've suddenly decided to blog at 10:41 PM. 

I was quite proud this evening that I managed to start up the little yard tractor, hitch up the trailer, get hay and feed the cows all by myself.  Feeling all pioneer-ish, and admiring the lovely sky and green hills while I filled up the cow's water trough...  And then I forgot to turn off the hose for a LONG time and when I realized it was still on I had probably watered the pasture with about 200 gallons of water.  Sorry, Earth.  Very, very sorry.

Oh my gosh, this picture!  He's so handsome and she's so beautiful!  The gorgeousness of it all is a little overwhelming...  I'm so happy for them.

Great photo! Lovely couple!

I'm glad to hear traveling with kids gets easier!
Right now I am trying to imagine what it will be like to fly home from South Africa with a 2 year old and a 1 year old. Aaaaaack!!!!!! Meltdowns galore!!!!!!!!

Ooooh, I envy you your abundance of time alone! Hoping you will get a bunch out of it (including sleep!) ;-)

Okay, so you had mentioned that your brother was attractive but, wow. :)

So glad to hear from you. I wondered if you had fallen off of the bloggy edge. :)

You have cows now? What?

That's a wonderful photo, they look so happy. I really like the one where her eyes match the green scarf.

So you have cows - are you now living on a farm? How cool.

What a beautiful couple, your brother and his wife make! I would have to say, I might be a bit envious of having some time alone...at least for a bit!

Nice to see you both happy with each other.
