Rain, Rain Go Away...
It has been pouring rain constantly since about 6 p.m. yesterday night. This morning when my Dad checked the rain gauge we had had four inches of rain in the night!! The rain hasn't let up either...
Rain, rain go away... come again some other day.......
Interestingly enough, it did not always rain on this earth. In Genesis it talks about how there was a mist that came out of the ground:
Genesis 2:4-6
4These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
5And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
I do not mind a rainy day though. Everyone stays inside to stay dry, usually you get something tasty for dinner like chili, and of course a wet day calls for something like tea, hot chocolate/coffee, or brownies!!! Yummy!!! If I had enough apples I would bake a pie... can you imagine the pleasant mood all of those spices would create?!!! Delightful!
Nevertheless all this rain is not helpful for the farm. We started chopping the corn yesterday at around 1p.m. We hire our field work done and there were big tractors and equipment running until the rain hit. Now it looks as if we won't be able to finish chopping until sometime in the beginning of next week.

September Weddings
The first weekend of this month was probably one of the best weddings I will have ever been a part of. My best buddy forever just got married to the love of her life!!! I felt so lucky to be her maid of honor.
It was fun rehearsing and the rehearsal dinner... and the after party!!!! We had that hay wagon dance like I told you about. BETTER than the last time!!! The groom-to-be and two of his groomsmen climbed in Sandy's dad's pickup truck (and the rest of us climbed in the back/bed!!!) and we fetched a wagon................ o.k. in essence we had two hay wagons side by side so you could go from one to the other. =) Trenton had his car pulled up blaring out music and we had Christmas lights hung all around the wagons!!! It was a beautiful site!!! =D 
And when it got too windy and wet and it started misting we took the party to the barn and danced on the limed isle (with the Christmas lights strung up around the barn!!). We were rockin' out till 11 p.m. The wedding was crazy awesome. Everyone managed to pull everything off even with a few last minute changes. I was supposed to walk down the isle right before the flower girl and ringbearer by myself, but the flower girl was having a bad day (and therefore went down the isle with her mom and dad who were also in the wedding) so I had the CUTEST little ringbearer escort me down the isle!!!!! It was absolutely precious!!! =D
(Isaac and I singing "Summer Love")
Sandy was such a beautiful bride. And Matt was the handsomest, and luckiest groom. =) They make such a cute couple!!!
The reception was perfect... everything was pretty and the food was good. 
The DJ was great and the music selection was incredible.
(It looks like Courtney is flying!! lol)
(All the cute couples dancing!!)
I danced most of the time (and do believe me I paid for it for the next two days)! I could barely move without my whole body aching!

This last Saturday was Rochelle and Charlie's wedding!!! It was such a beautiful day...
in a gorgeous spot on the earth...
so many colors... 
beautiful music....
and the most wonderful people all around....
We took the back roads there. It was a beautiful drive. Hills... trees... amazing view. The wedding was held up on a very high hill and the view was spectacular. 
At one part during the 30 minute wedding Rochelle and Charlie said a few words to each other and I do believe Charlie had every woman in the place wiping their eyes!!! 
They were so sincere and so passionate I definitely couldn't hold back the tears. The reception was lovely! The food was SO GOOD!! I was on duty to help out with eight other girls (all of whom I'm great friends with.... so it made it easy to do the work). We served the head table and cleared all the dishes and cleaned all the dishes and washed all the dishes. Boy, there were a lot of dishes. What was only expected to take an hour took probably 4-5! We didn't mind too much though and it was wonderful to get to do something for Rochelle!!! They're going to live in Chicago and so we will all miss her terribly.
Charlie is a great guy though and so I know she will be very happy spending her days serving the Lord with him (because of all the young people I know they are the two most passionate about their work for the Lord). I have been very blessed to be a part of quite a few weddings and to be a witness at many more!! What a great thing marriage is!! Something that could have only been designed by God.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

ParTEE!!!!
So right now, it's a bunch of us girls chillin' at Stacy's house... in celebration of Sandy's last few days of singleness. BACHELORETTE PARTY!!!
We went to EC, had lunch at Olive Garden (I love their sweet peach iced tea... yummy) and picked up the essential supplies. ;) What every girl needs. hehe
Saturday the 4th is the big day. =D Sandy's gonna be a goner. lol... just kidding. She's marrying this really great guy named Matt! =) I'm really happy for her and I am so honored to be in their wedding.
We're gonna make some great memories this weekend.
The rehearsal is going to be a blast.... we'll set up the church and barn, rehearse the wedding, then go to Sanny's parents to play volleyball, eat awesome food, have a bonfire, and a Hay WAGON dance!!!! Can't wait....
We haven't had a hay wagon dance since 2008... good times all the way baby.
Anyway, now I have to think of something to say at the wedding. To my horror I have the great pleasure of getting to make a speach. :P Should be embarrasing. ;)
Soooooooo...... I'm gonna have a lot of pictures I'm gonna need to upload.
'Till next time.
