As I said in my previous post, Todd and Reagan's deliciously Southern wedding has pretty much been the highlight of the season for me. Part of that equation was meeting so many people that just knocked my socks off! One of those people was miss Joni Lay, the very lovely and talented creator/owner of The Chocolate Butterbean. Oh, see... isn't she just charming?!?

Be sure to check out her site and her BLOG today for lots of fun goodies from the wedding. I didn't even have to put together a collage of my photos because she already did it for me. See, this gal is truly fabulous.

So when I got home from the wedding and was busy chatting Ross' ear off about how over-the-moon amazing everyone and everything was... I pulled up some of Joni's work.... and ka-BOOM!! We were inspired with one of our greatest ideas yet. Stick with me here.  One of our life dreams is to have our own barn/farm/ranch one day so that Ross can have his cows and I can have a horse or 2. Sooooo, we decided to have Joni design a sign that we will hang in our house for now, but the goal is to eventually hang it in our barn. It will be our little reminder about what we are working towards. And I'm about to jump out of my skin with excitement over this sign!

So one day I'll get to look out my window and see little guys like this, that will make me smile.

And a modest little property, something like this. Heh. heh. (Image courtesy of Farm and Ranch)

Sigh. Someday. So there is our little dream.

And you better believe that I'll share photos just as soon as I get my hands on the glorious masterpiece that I know Joni will create for us!!!
