My mother in law did this fabulous art work for me at the "hitchin post" where couples could have their pictures taken and sign a marriage certificate. Here's Monique and I trying it out.
Hillbilly hoops was a hit. Thanks to Bern for the use of his very CLEAN toilets.
We decorated the tables with newspaper and duct tape, ate out of pie tins, and used mason jars for the drinks. We served "mormon moonshine" and water.
This picture doesn't do it justice, but the clothesline was a nice touch. We served dutch oven stew ("varmint" stew) with biscuits, and dutch oven cobbler with ice cream. Delish!
I don't have a picture, but I made garlands out of pop cans and trash and hung them over each doorway. We added accents of raffia, garbage, old shoes, and old hats all over. I made a playlist of hillbilly music on my new ipod and it plugged right in to the system. How cool is that!

I was pleased that it all worked out, and now I am excited to have a week to clean up my house and catch up on laundry. Yeah!

It was a good activity. We figured we'd just eat and run since we had Hannah with us, but we were having so much fun we decided to stay. All I could find were some torn up jeans, but Brian had all kinds of hillbilly items in his closet...sad. Will you email us if you got any pictures of us from that night?
You guys are amazing!! I was so sorry I had to miss it. Not sorry to spend time with sister, niece, and mom, but why do all good things have to happen at the same time?
Anyhow, from all reports, the party was a gigantic success. You deserve a rest!
So sad that I missed it, but we also had a house full of people in town.
It looks great (as always when you are in charge!!).
Such a cute idea, I will definately pass that along to my ward.
Wow. We do things a little more low key out in the mission field.
