Newell Pioneer Village

Wedding Ceremony & Reception

Our Wedding

Well, it all started when Dad took me on a car ride to Newberg. He left me in the car for 2 1/2 hours! After he got back in the car, he told me he'd been grilled mercilessly. I kind of felt bad, but we did it all again the next week.~From my perspective, Mom was distracted texting someone while we were on vacation for a week. When we got back home, she decided to take me to a farm! I saw a polar bear and she played with me! I saw goats and chickens! We walked and we walked and then! I got squished in a hug and we had to go home.~Pretty much every weekend, I have a pesky little two year old in my face and stealing all the attention. It's so annoying!~The Polar Bear and I have been together nearly every weekend since then, whether we want to or not. She is gentle and sometimes lets me win. Life is pretty fun hanging out and playing with a fluffy furball, even if she eats my food at every opportunity.
