Wedding in a Barn : GAME on…It’s Wedding Week Crunch Time!

Posted on the 12 August 2013 by Lynne @lynneknowlton

The time has come.

My niece is getting married in our barn on Saturday.

I thought it could be kinda cool to share wedding prep photos with you this week.

You up for it?

I thought the photos may help to calm me down this week, and to calm you down too. LOL.  Like you need it.

Yes, we live in the country.  I think I can do a better job of sharing that with you.

One of my blogging goals is to step you into our home,  barn, and treehouse more often ~ to give you some ideas for your home.  Simple ideas.  Decorating ideas.  Ideas with twigs, shells, rocks, mosaics… oh my oh my, you won’t believe all the cool things I have in store for you.  EPIC SHIT.

What do you think of that idea?

It’s easier for me to do that in short daily blog posts.  Otherwise, you may never see it.

I would love love love to hear your input in the comments.  Good idea?  Bad idea?

Step into the backyard….

Setting the scene for a wedding can be sort of complicated and simple all at once.

The trees behave themselves.  They just stand there looking all tree~like.

There is a sense of calm in the air.  Don’t ask me how that happens.

The treehouse is hiding just around the corner

It just does.

When we have a big event that is about to burst on the scene at home… I remind myself to enjoy the prep time as much as the event….

“Life is a journey, not a destination.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is seriously complicated to do.  I suck at relaxing.  I suck at sitting down.  I have to remind myself to just chill it.

Do you do the same ?   Or am I an alien ?

So… I just go about my daily tasks….

All the sheets get washed and hung on the line.  Someone needs to bottle that scent.

Everything is better when it is hung on a laundry line

Taking one day at a time.

I hope that you enjoy this wedding week with me.  A week to remind ourselves to work hard, but also to just chill it.

Even when the cat poops on the chair.

Or the dog decides to have a mud bath in the pond after his shampoo.

Or cancer decides to act like a monkey ~ playing with your hair, and shitting on your shoulder.  { I wrote about that on the Facebook page this week }

May the journey to relaxation begin this week.  Want to join me?

We can try to relax it out together.
