A couple of weekends ago, we went to a wedding for jamie's friends
who are planning to LIVE IN A YURT.
We drove to the northernest tip of California and put in many miles on a dirt road....
Uh....seriously??
Waited for some wild pigs to clear the road....
Walked past the guy in the skirt....
A few more steps past the guys in dress shirts,
digging up cooked animals from the ground.
digging up cooked animals from the ground.
That'd be a domestic pig, a one wild pig, and one lamb.
Hooked a left at the pumpkin decor, little kids, and pasture of sheep...
Then witnessed a beautiful wedding:
Holly Meyers Dawley and her husband, Tyler.
That's right, kids! We know someone named HOLLY DOLLY. How kickass is that?? She's a classmate of Jamie's from theUniversityofArizona and according to him, probably the last girl he could ever imagine settling down on a ranch....in a yurt. Yup, you read it correctly the first time. Our friend Holly Dawley is going to move into a yurt. They're waiting until the utilities are officially hooked up, but once it is, they'll be going Mongolian on their living style. Amazing, huh? Click here for a visual explanation.
Logan, baby Willa, and me!
Logan is another UofA wildcat alum and Jamie's college girlfriend.
After a Facebook consultation about how to dress for "attire: barn chic" wedding, I decided on a knee-length strapless bcbg dress I had last worn at Devon's bridal shower. It's a little flowy on the bottom, I decided that the browns made it appropriate for fall, paired it with some short, brown boots, a jcrew for kids headband, and a long strand of gold chains. Was I wrong in thinking that barn people wear chains and flower headbands made for children?
We loved the opportunity to see Jamie's friends and watch as our dog got along SO WELL with their kids. Hudson totally dug the little ones and it was reassuring to see him do well with an infant grabbing at his tail. Phew. We don't get to play around with kids very often so I become a teeny bit nervous.
Nervous and apparently, a bit clingy.
It got super chilly that night.
Jamie brought me the closest child-blanket he could find.

so ...
woah, at a loss for words.
this post funny.
you cute.
wow you look hot! and how on earth does your head fit into a CHILD's headband? Mine doesn't even fit in adults. It's official you're small head i'm big head.
i have no further comments on the yurt wedding than those made in private. since this is a public forum i will not repeat them (hello beard snack!).
your cute dress + headband= super cute! the boots are flippin' adorable i might add. i want!
i've never heard of a yurt until i read this. now i have a cool new topic to talk to people about :)
love the outfit.
where are they putting the yurt.
yurts are cheap (i saw on the site).
looks like fun!

Sarah - the headband totally fits and I think I've ALWAYS said that I have a HUGE head. Like, I had to order a boy's size graduation cap because the girls' wouldn't fit me. Grrr. Just try 'em. Cheaper than adult headbands!!
Liz - on his parents' ranch. like, right by the main house.
Jo - I will NEVER make a yurt! Are you kidding? All those pieces, ugh. :)
