Same Date, New Place


This last week has been D-R-A-M-A and stressful, but ended wonderfully. Long story short, I asked Wes to call to confirm our venue (mind you we "reserved" it in March) and he was told it was booked by someone else. I guess the only good thing is we found out 8 months before the wedding, not just one month before.

Therefore, we spent our entire Saturday, today, looking at other venues. It went REALLY well...actually the first place we looked at we both fell in love with. We went to look at the others, but knew they probably weren't going to compare. It's not in Weatherford anymore and there is no scenic waterfall or bridge, but it's rustic, charming and hopefully come April the bluebonnets will be coming up. All, in all, we're both happy and excited about the new venue. I took some pictures and borrowed some from the venue's site (Rambling Oak Ranch) and you can find them here.

Building a Home...Together



Wes and I both love the outdoors, especially in the spring and fall when the weather is just right. So, since he'll be moving into my house once we say "I do" we have been adding a large wooden deck to the back yard for the last month. It took longer than I expected, but was definitely worth the work, sweat, and blood (literally - one toe and one finger; both Wes' [We'll be registering for a first aid kit :-)]). Here are some pictures of the process and the nearly final product. Enjoy!

Love,
Sarah
