We're Engaged!

This past weekend I went back to Sidney for their Annual Octoberfest celebration. I rode back with two girls from Sidney who go to school in Omaha, so it made the long 5 hour drive go much faster than normal. Octoberfest is much like the Clarkson Czech Festival, focusing on German roots and traditions and of course a big tent with lots of people and beer! Little did I know that Tyson was planning something a little more exciting than partying in the Octoberfest Tent.

Saturday morning there is a parade in town at 10 AM. Tyson told me that after the parade we would go take mineral out to the cows, which is something that we do almost every time I come out to Sidney. Little did I know what was actually waiting for me to see in the pasture. The parade got over about noon, then we headed to the Octoberfest tent to have a brat and a glass of beer , before we headed out to the pasture. After we put out mineral, Tyson and I walked through the calves and cows that were by the windmill like we always do and we talked about our favorites and which ones Ty wanted to keep back as heifers. Then we hopped in his pick up and headed up to the top of the pasture to look for the rest of the cows that weren't down by the windmill. Once we got to the top, we walked up to the edge of the ridge and found this: 

Who would have thought that Tyson could be so creative?!?! : )

Celebration Hugs and Joys!

Many thanks to Susan for the coming to take a few pictures to share with family and friends. My family enjoyed viewing the picture, since they couldn't be with us on this joyous day! Now let the planning begin! Stay tuned for future wedding details! : )
