MERRY US.

Our wonderful photographer Tim has finished our wedding project! While we were in Louisville yesterday, we met up with him to pick up the final product and we couldn't be happier, or more impressed.  We LOVE it.  Tim did a fantastic job, and you can see more of our pictures as well as more of his amazing work on his website or blog.  The whole day was a great success. We are excited and proud to share the results with you. Welcome to the wedding!

- Hannah & Jesse.

A DAY IN PHOTOS - SALVAGE YARD.

Jesse and I took my brother to the Louisville airport yesterday, and stuck around to spend some time at Architectural Salvage.  I wish we had a whole week to spend at this amazing place (as well as several thousand dollars!) We stopped by some other lovely Louisville spots, like Quills coffee and The Eiderdown restaurant.  This town is endearing itself to me more and more each visit.- Hannah.

WEDDING SNEAK PEEK.

Our wonderful, amazing, super-talented friend and photographer TIM HARRIS has been kind enough to share a preview of our wedding day with us.  And so we are sharing it with YOU!

We met Tim while we were working at Bugtussle, so his connection to the farm and to us made him the perfect fit for our photographer.  Besides being an amazing artist, we had a great time spending the day with him, talking about food and bikes and Wendell Berry.  He was so wonderful to work with, removing any awkwardness that comes from having a man with a camera following you around all day.  You should seriously check out his portfolio...tons of beauty and inspiration and passion.  He even has a project about Bugtussle - click here!  You can see why Jesse and I fell in love with that place.Tim is hard at work finishing our wedding video and the rest of the pictures, and we should be able to share them with you sometime this week. Can't wait!- Hannah.

2012 - THE YEAR WE BECOME FARMERS.

Yesterday, we had to leave our lovely little honeymoon farm.  It was so hard to say goodbye to that wonderful place!  But although we don't exactly have to get "back to the grind" like most people, Jesse and I DO have a lot of work to do in 2012.  In some ways, we were putting off all of the serious planning, decision making, and other grown-up-type things until after the wedding and the holidays...so here we are!First order of business: SEEDS!  It is officially seed catalog season!  We came back yesterday to a pile of catalogs and went straight to work.  After a few hours of perusing, we managed to order our garden for this year!  It was a little bit surreal.  Actually, a LOT of bit surreal!  Sitting down and choosing the specific varieties of vegetables we will be growing made me realize that we are really doing this!  We are going to grow these things, not just dream about it.  They are in the mail, coming our way!  I love looking at the long, organized list of seeds, thinking about the when and where and how for each different veggie, imagining Jesse and I sitting down eating these foods, in our own house.  It is becoming real.  Even though we haven't actually accomplished anything yet, I feel some small sense of satisfaction in this first, small step.  I'm feeling pretty good about this year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  We hope you have as much excitement and hope for the year as we do.

- Hannah.
