Family problems

I am getting married next july and am really excited about it. I love all the planning that goes it to have a wedding. My wedding location will be at the old leon school, as a community we have turned it into a play for gatorfest. Which includs a place for softball and kids to play on the swings and play basketball. There is also a big flot spot by the creek where the wedding will be held. In the back ground will be my farm so it is very special to me to have my wedding down there. the reception will be held at Club 16 in sparta, they have a lot of room and a really big dance floor.





So here comes the family problems they are mostly with garys family, i should say his DAD!!!! his dad was broght up that if you want something you have to get it and earn it yourself. Which is fine but none of the kids went to college cuz they couldnt afford it. So with knot that they never really tried in high school cuz they didnt care, they would just work in the family business. I know how it is working with you family ir has its good and its bads.





So his dad told us when we got engaged to have fun paying for this weddign ourselves. I was so pissed my family is goign to help why cant they, i mean they dont have to pay for the whole thing but my parents should have to either. I know what they thinkign why am i bitching cuz we could have to pay for this all by are selves. Im not really bitching just stresses me out how they wont help with everything. Every time they see my parents his dad is always like have fun helping the kids pay for the wedding, cuz they are not getting any money out of us. And yet they are gone every weekend, take trips all the time. i understand that its there money and they can do what they want with it, but gary helps them make that money also so stop being such hard ass's.

There is nothing we can really do about it now! i just hope that they keep there opinions to eachother. they didnt put any money to it they dont deserve to have a say it what goes on i feel anyways. just for once i wish things could go smooth and easy with out all the stress and tearfull nights

Showing cattle

I showed cattle since i was 12 years old! My First steer was from are neibors, when he was born his mom died. So i had to bottol feed him, then teach him to eat grain. Since i had him from two days old he would follow me around like a little puppy dog. he grew to weigh 1,300 pounds! THATS A BIG BOY!!! it was very hard to sell this steer at the end of fair! He was my baby and the buyer new that so he let me keep him even thou he bought him. I was so happy that i was able to take floppys home!! Showing cattle was a project my brother adn i did together. So we became every close do to this.

We bought are steers in the beggining of october at the weight of 500 pounds. the only reason why we bought are steers is because we dont have room for cows, so we cant show the calves they would have. We work this these steers from october till the end of july! that ment 3 a days washes in the summer time, Bring them in from out side at 5 in the moring then the weather was to hot. We would even bring them in when it started to rain, we didnt want them to get hurt by any means! it was always cute then they can into the barn they had there own little shop in the barn so they would go there right away and wait to be tied up! they would have 4 fans on them at all time, the barn was even had A.C! My mom always got up set because are house didnt even have A.C!!

Showing cattle takes a lot of time and Still. I know if you have ever went to a county fair, all you see is use walking in to a ring and a judge picks the one he likes but there is alot of other things that go in to it behind the seens. I dont want to make you fall alsleep by me telling you every little thing we do to get them ready. but if you would care to know leave me a ? about it and i will tell you!

Are county fair is the monreo county fair in tomah. My brother and i have alot of great memories from the fair. like winning grand champion steer or reserve champion 6 out of the 8 years we showed! thats a great deal to win, and im very pround of my brother and my family for the help!

any ? please ask i know i was breif but if a went all in to it we would be here for a YEAR

My brother is a married man

So my brother got married this weekend! I have never been so happy and sad at the same time in my life. My brother and i have been very close are whole lives! Usually the older brother is the protective one, not this time i have always been very protective of my brother! I have lerned a lot from him, he has taught me the ways of the world! i don't think i would be the same person with out him!

Lindsey the woman he married is from the small town of Mable, Minnesota! it took us a long time to become as close as we are now. As i said before I'm very protective so no on was every good enough for him, and she was nothing like me! she is load and opinionated and kinda BLOND LOL! I know she loves him very much and would never do anything to hurt him! I'm still not sure but its not my place anymore to say anything! SO I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST!

Where do i start with how the day went! well since we live and all work on the farm we had to start chorse at five in the morning:( then we had to head down here to lax by 8:30 to get are hair and make up done at hair paradise! There were5 girls in the wedding party plus the two mothers and 3 other personal attendents! so it took a good long time for us to get all done! we were all back to my mom and dads place by noon to eat sonething then get in to are dresses! are dresses were strapless tee lengh dresses. there were a toap with a cream colored sash. in the gift bags lindsey bough for us were our julrey, which was pural earing and neckless, plus flip flops to were once the weddign was over! picturs started at 1:30 they had two photograghes so one was with the guys and one with the boys, which worked really well. For are pictures with lindsey we took them in a hay field out front of are house. we took some with the whole group and some with every bridemade with the bride! it was VERY COLD that day so we didnt mess around. the boys took there pictures on top of the hill behind the farm it was a great idea but not when the wind is blowing 100 miles in hour!!! Plus the farm puppy got out and she has to be right by me and my brothers side so when the girl got up there to take pictures her was sadie sitting right by ryan for every picture is was so cute! i hope they can cut her out of them.

We rode down to the wedding no tractors and wagens it was so neat thank god the wedding was only a little ways away from the farm!! it was so amazing to drive back around the tent and see all the people! it was PACKED standing room only. The wedding all in all only took about a half in hour
