Shawn and Jenny are two of my oldest friends. Jenny chased Shawn around for about ten years until he finally realized he should do something about it. So, he did and they are getting married in September. They spent several weeks deciding on whether they wanted to get married at the church, or on the Hatley farm in Stanley County where Shawn's Dad grew up. They knew the farm would need a TON of work, and not just from them. Shawn's Dad had years of stuff piled up in a barn that were full of memories of his own dad. So, cleaning all of this stuff out forced him to make some decisions which he said he was glad about. Lucky for him, he retired from the N.C. Air National Guard five months ago so he's had plenty of time to do some work out there.
The farm is absolutely beautiful. Soy is the main crop in the fields and they've got a guy that farms all of the land, which is well over 100 acres. I rolled down Saturday morning, Shawn rented a bobcat and eight of us spread all of the pit gravel he carted into the barn. It will eventually settle and turn into a very fine gravel with almost no dust at all. That's where the reception will be. It's freakin' nuts the work they are doing out there. The wedding is sure to not suck, unless it rains.

I wish there was more info about this day of work on the farm. Like, for instance, did any other media people show up to help at the Hatley Estate?
