There's a blizzard out there... literally

This past week, Seth and I had the honor of representing the state of Alabama in the ASA's Young Leader Program. We met so many fabulous people and gained great deals of information about ourselves and farming. The program took place in Johnston, Iowa (right outside of Des Moines). At first I was disappointed because the weather had predicted no snow. This forcast changed, however, at some point along the way. While we were there, we encountered a blizzard. Snow fell by the foot ( over 14 inches in some areas). The temperature was cold and the wind chill was absolutely bone chilling.

Seth & I couldn't believe how much fast it was falling... One person said that an inch per hour was falling.

The airport was all but shut down. Nearly every flight was cancelled... but not ours!

It was a very uneasy feeling to feel the plane slide about on the runway from all of the snow under the tires.

Lost and Found

I found the misplaced camera, finally.

Weekend at Work

This past week has been extremely busy on the farm. Seth hasn't been making it home til the wee hours of the morning (i.e. 5 a.m.) I decided that if I wanted to see him this weekend, I was going to have to suit up in my boots and work jeans and join him on the farm. Here are some pictures from the weekend-o-work.

p.s. Lucy got her cast taken off and she is doing fabulous. She still doesn't put much weight on her injured leg, but we feel she will get stronger every day. YAY!!

Lucy Update

Here is a picture of Lucy after she came home from the hospital.

Wishful Thinking...

As Chris and Caroline are enjoying their honeymoon, I desperately wish we were still on ours....

Chris and Caroline's wedding was absolutely beautiful. Caroline was stunning! I can't wait to hear all about their honeymoon.

Our prayers have been answered, and Lucy is back home. She is finally walking but has to wear a green cast with hot pink hearts. She still has many broken bones and other health concerns, but we are still hoping for the best. It seems she is improving everyday.

A Few Honeymoon Pictures

A Few Honeymoon Pictures... Better late than never.

So many days have already come and gone... in a flash! The weeks are zipping by. Seth and I are settling into married life and trying to train a puppy, Lucy. We have Buddy to help Lucy learn the ropes but they can both get a little rowdy.

Here are the latest updates:
*Seth was named as the Young Farmer Chairman for Pickens County. This means mucho meetings all over the state. (i.e. Carrollton, Montgomery, Auburn, Tuscaloosa, etc)
*Corn harvest is finished for the year... hooray!!
*Kindergarten is great! I love seeing the smiling faces each morning. Much more work than I anticipated (way more than preparing for 7th grade English)
*I am also teaching a Wednesday Night Bible Class.
*Haven't been able to upload honeymoon pictures b/c of internet malfunction but I'm working on it!

We miss seeing our friends and family in Memphis. Once things settle down on the farm, we will be there for some fun!
