The couple's shower!

This past weekend Regan, Ashley, Caitlin and Ryan threw us a couple's shower at The Shop! It was so much fun. The shower was a country chic theme, so cute :) They catered in BBQ from a new place in Urbana called Black Dog BBQ. We got a cake from Deanna Loschen, who if you've never eaten her cake you're truly missing out because it is so delicious. There was also tons of wonderful presents given to us and a DJ. The couple's shower was awesome and I recommend anyone who is getting married to look into having one. It was a perfect way for both the guys and girls to get together to celebrate the wedding instead of just the traditional girls only shower. I have posted pics below of the couple's shower! Thank you to everyone who came out and helped us celebrate! Also, a special thanks goes out to Regan, Dylan and Tyler who helped us clean up The Shop on Friday night to be able to have the party there.

Welcome to our blog!

Thanks for reading our blog! We decided that since we have so many friends and family members with busy lives like ours, we would create a blog to update everyone on what's going on in our life. As many of you already know, we are getting married November 26th, 2011! The wedding is coming up so fast and it is now a little over 4 months away. All of the details seem to be in place and the plans are coming along smoothly. We will be posting information with wedding details in postings to come. For now, I wanted to let everyone in on our projects that we have going on right now.

Lyle & his family just finished up getting all of the crops in for spring. Everything is sprayed & looking great! It seems like we are right on track for a great harvest come fall. Now that they are done working in the fields for a couple of weeks, I have LOTS of projects lined up around the Waters Homestead :) We are having a local guy from Gifford redo our bathroom and he starts work on it July 19th! The bathroom is a room in the house that really needs to updated. He is going to do all kinds of updates including a new shower, toilet, exhaust fan, drop ceiling, new lighting and flooring. I will post photos of the before and after to show the progress we have made.

In addition to the bathroom redo, Lyle is working on the yard and we will also be adding a deck onto the front of the house, which is something I'm thrilled about because the sunsets at our house are gorgeous!!! I can't wait to sit on the deck with a glass of wine and enjoy the sunset. But, for now I must stop day dreaming and get back to work so I can make money to afford the projects! I hope you enjoy the pictures posted below. Thanks for reading and come back soon!!!
