Michael and Crystal Engaged

These two are so cute and some serious fun!
They first met over Facebook and even though they
were on opposite sides of the country, Michael flew out to Cali to take her
on her first date. How romantic is that? And now they are engaged!

Blacksmithing

As I've been pursuing photography, Bryan has been pursuing his own hobby--blacksmithing. It's been something that he's wanted to do for while and is of great value on the farm. He can now make his own farm implements, tools, and someday be able to make a lot of stuff that will go into the building of our barns and home. Pretty awesome!

For Christmas, Bryan asked me for some blacksmithing tools. I told him that probably wasn't a good idea ha! I only know how to navigate amazon and thrift stores for gifts. But for Christmas his whole family, being as awesome as they are, found this man who collects (read: hoards) blacksmithing tools. This place is what Bryan's heaven would look like. As he ogled and picked out tools, I passed time with taking pictures of this man's workshop.
