Yet another month has flown by!  Last month we had a great time at Wheatland Music Festival!  Thanks dad for the tickets!
Geoff moved in last month on the 21st, and started his new job the same day!  He has been working a LOT of hours and we haven't had much time to do anything for a while...  50+ hours a week has taken it's toll.  He has been harvesting sugar beets and corn, learning the mechanics of semi trucks and lots of stuff about farming.

Up until Becky and Duncan's wedding we were super busy, Geoff with writing the ceremony, and I with wedding showers, bachelorette party and helping set up for the wedding itself.  The wedding went really well, Geoff did a great job marrying them!  The ceremony was lots of fun and we are both relieved our duties are over! :)  We can't believe we forgot to get a picture of us at the wedding, I guess we were really busy!

Angel celebrated her 9th birthday this month!  She had a great time celebrating at Becky and Duncan's wedding.


I've been out bow hunting a fair amount and have seen quite a few deer.  I only had one day that I had a shot at anything and it was a big buck!  I hit him and tracked him for hours and never found him :(  Since then it's been hard to get in the woods with all the rain, I'm still hoping to get at least one deer this year though.

The greenhouse has FINALLY seen some progress:

Last Saturday we built all the trusses and erected them.  That was quite a bit of work as the plans I drew up were just a hair off, so I wound up having to figure out angles and lengths on the fly, and then just duplicate them.  The first one turned out a little wonky, but the rest were near perfect.  This week I started putting in a brick platform at the entry door, and put on a couple more horizontal pieces to support the plastic from tearing through at the corners.  The plastic needs to be on by the weekend, so we have a bit more work to do to close in the ends and all the gaps at the bottom by then, but we are making fast progress on it.  It may be too late to plant this year, I'm not sure.  I'm sure my mom will tell me though!  
I planted garlic there this month as well, our first crop is in the ground!  Here's hoping it grows well!
Geoff really wants to put up a video of us performing Love Shack at the Ithaca Winery... maybe next time!  Now you have something to look forward to?
