Farm Living is the Life FOR ME!

Ok, not really. but it is for Dustin. They used to have a full-time crop farm growing potatos but got out of it probably 2 years before we started dating. Now they grow corn for area farmers who don't have land to grow their own. Along with a few acres of sweet corn for the sweet corn stand. So as I marry this boy, I marry into the life of a farmer!

Here's some pics from the camera of him farming!

Commencement

Have you been to a graduation that doesn't say "commencement doesn't mean the end, it means the beginning." Today was Dustin's brother Devon's college graduation. Dustin and I had a bet going on how long it would take before the speaker would say that quote, 10 minutes into the ceremony! It was kind of weird, I sat in that same auditorium in Williamsport, PA 2 1/2 years ago when Dustin graduated college, it just seems weird that I've been with Dustin that long. When I first started dating him, 5 years ago, his brother didn't even have his driver's license. Now he's a college graduate with an associates degree. He is truly like a brother to me, and strangely enough, he's a lot like my own brother. It's also funny to consider myself part of the family. When Dustin graduated we did the family picture, then the picture with the family and me. Today when we did the pictures, there was no family picture that didn't involve me. It was a moment that I realized I actually am part of this family whether we have an official marriage certificate or not. And as dorky as that sounds, it seems pretty cool to me!

It's Official!

We now own a mobile dwelling. I HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE! We signed the paperwork over last night for the mobile home. We will move it from it's current location to the lot we are putting it on on May 30th. The current owners will be moved out by May 26th (we did the paperwork early with a little contract giving her rights to live there until May 26th because most notaries are not open Memorial Day weekend). We will go up on memorial day weekend and tie everything down and zip-tie the cabinets shut so that everything is ready for the moving company.

I am so excited it's not even funny. We went to walmart tonight and I was like "we need this and this and this" and Dustin told me to slow down, I could buy stuff, I just need to wait until we are IN it before I buy anything because we have NO room right now to store stuff in our current house because of all the wedding stuff and everything else.

I will post pictures when we go up Memorial Day and get the keys. Dummy me forgot the camera!

Work Ethics

It's amazing how work ethic's vary from person to person. This week has been a very draining and time consuming week at work. Thursday I had to go to upstate NY with one of the VP's to visit one of our terminals, the main dispatcher in that terminal is retiring and due to the small size of the terminal, we are doing his work from our terminal, 3 hours away. Let me rephrase that, I AM doing his work from our terminal. Last night I worked until 7:00 p.m. as well. I work it because I was raised one of those people that you work until the work is one. I just wish the 2 other people in my department had that same theory. Thankfully I have the entire weekend off this weekend to do whatever I want. :)

On that note I think I am going to go Mother's Day shopping today. I also have a list a mile long of little stuff here and there I need for the wedding. A few fake trees, white lights, some tulle, cardstock, vellum, ribbon, flip flops, little shot glasses, bridesmaid gifts, flower girl gift, parents gifts, ok, so i have ALOT of stuff to get! ha ha!
