Now we need a barn

So, now Randy has decided we need a barn. Not just any kind of barn, either. He thinks we need to find some land, maybe 10 acres or so, outside of town that we can build a big barn and have lots of open space around it. He got this idea from Elizabeth and Rusty's wedding last weekend. By the way, that was a beautiful wedding! More about that later. For now, back to the barn. So, it's not just four walls and a dirt floor he wants. We're talking a concrete slab, large barn doors on three sides, and a built in smoker. Then, here's the crazy part, he wants to make a room that's air conditioned and big enough for a pool table and shuffle board table by taking one of the long sides of the barn and enclosing it. Where did he get this crazy idea? Well, that takes us back to the wedding!

Liz lives in Direct, TX. And for those of you that don't know where that is, okay for nearly all of you, that is about 30 minutes outside of Paris, TX. It's a really pretty part of Texas because it's covered with greenery. True to Liz form, she found a really neat and unique wedding site and tailored the small details to make her wedding an unforgettable experience. The actual ceremony was held under a large oak tree and was really sweet. She found a great country singer named Wade White to play all of the music acoustic during the ceremony and reception. He sang, with a fiddle player and base guitarist accompanying, for hours. The reception was in, you guessed it, a large barn. Now this barn was made to have fun in! I have to admit, that room with the pool table I talked about was pretty cool. It also had a big screen TV and a DJ sound system built in. It was decorated with NASCAR and country music singer memorabilia that the owners had collected. Not my personal style, but well put together regardless. It was a great place to have a reception. As the night wore on we all danced, including Elizabeth. At one point she even borrowed someones belt to hold the train of her wedding dress up so she could jitterbug! And, we discovered there were some limber girls there when the limbo contest was underway. Overall, it was a really great night!
