This Is The Day

Time on the Farm

After we got married we spent quite a bit of time at the Stinar farm. Tom actually stayed there all week and I would be in Fargo 2-3 days a week and then be at the farm the rest of the week. It wasn't the most ideal situation, but it worked out pretty well. I was able to keep my job and Tom was able to farm! We are really excited to move to Warren in the spring to be a farming family, so this was a good prep time for me to see what it will be like.

One Sunday afternoon we drove around checking fields, and this is what we found. Harvest season is just so beautiful!

Tom and I enjoyed the Marshall County Fair in Warren at the end of July! Here we are having a slush and a $1.00 vanilla shake.....pretty good deal. :)

Wedding (Reception)

The reception. We had our receiving line at the reception hall right before everyone went in to eat. Because there were around 375 people it took quite a while (around an hour and a half to two hours) to greet everyone. However, we just thought it was so important to do that and we just wanted to greet everyone and thank them for coming. We're so glad they were all there!

Thanks for pouring punch, Derek and Tessa!

Here's a few of greeting our friends and family.

We thought little Greta's expression in this picture was so cute. She was so excited!

My new little niece, Jori!

They told her to do different faces, and his was her grumpy face. She is pretty fun. :)

With all of my Espe aunts and uncles. In order: Glenn & Marge, Marvin & Myrna, Duane & Linda, Paul & Evadell, Milo & Judy, Edgar & Charlotte, Sheldon & Val (my mom and dad)

Chad & Penny did our pre-marriage counseling with us and Chad was one of our pastors for the wedding. They have been a huge blessing to us!

My camp girl friends! Cassie (she also went to CBC with me), Camille, Erica, Myranda, & Penny

With all of my Larson aunts and uncles. Lori, DeWayne & Gwen, Grandpa, Danny, Rob & Caryn, Mike & JoAnn, Dad & Mom

Grandpa Neil

The Stinar family with the kiddos, Jori & Ezra.

With Brock & Amber, Madison, Isaac, Hannah, and baby Audrey! Brock and Amber have been such great friends since I was in 9th grade when I got to know them through working with them at the theater. (I actually babysat Madison before that, though!) It was such a treat that they could be there (they live in Montana now) and I was just blessed by them making that long trip just to be at our wedding! It was so fun to have Madison and Isaac as part of the wedding, too, as the Lindbergs really just seem like family.

We had a wonderful day and just truly enjoyed every part of it. We are so thankful God brought us together and just praise Him for His goodness to us!
