We have been excited about our future together. Laurann and her mother are currently in Nauvoo working on the wedding plans (ie: wedding dress, invitations, decorations, flowers, etc., the "girly stuff"). We also have been enjoying meeting again with friends and family. I went down to visit my family in southern Illinois while Laurann and her mom are working on the girly stuff. I kept busy working around the farm with my father using all the boy toys (ie: chain saw, weed wacker, mower, etc.) and collecting pictures of my growing up years. My mother has only recently started letting sheep out of the pasture when she's home. A word to the wise: watch out for "sheep pies." Not as visible as those from cows, but quite smelly in confined spaces like the house or the car.
