Remembering Three Years Ago

I am always amazed at how quickly time goes. Three years ago today, I married my best friend. Over the past few years we've dealt with so many weird situations (maybe they are normal but to me they aren't). We've stood together through the good times when we've said hello to new members of the Sanctuary (both two legged and four legged). We've enjoyed the sun shining on our backs as we work and enjoyed each other's company. We've also stood together through the bad times when we've had to say goodbye (and weeped over) family members both two legged and four legged. We've stressed over the hay crisis and the drought crisis. We've dealt with health issues that have rendered us incapable of doing our  normal tasks. But through it all (both the good and the bad), our bond has only grown stronger. I can truly say that I am a very lucky woman. Throughout today, I will remember those special moments that occured on this day three years ago. I will leave you with a few pictures of some of those wonderful moments.

 Farmer tan and all (and proud of it!)

 It was harder getting on the carousel horse than the real horse! It was a requirement to have horses involved (be it the real or fake kind!)

 The only horse I'll ever get Mike on. That's right, we run a horse sanctuary and he doesn't ride.

 Precariously sitting sidesaddle on a carousel horse. Much more difficult than astride Zeke.

 My amazing Zeke. No wedding dress is complete without cowboy boots! The saddle pad was hand spun by my amazing grandmother and woven by my amazing mother.

 Overlooking Lake Herman

 Gots me some att-i-tude!

 One of my all time favorites! Out on the trap shoot field just before a storm blew through.

 Love the flowers. If you look close, you'll also see the rosary that my mother wove into the bouquet; it's a family heirloom (I can't remember who they belonged to though).

One of my all time favorites!
