Fashion On The Farm- Boots

When I first moved to South Dakota in the Fall of 2008 (Chopping corn silage is actually my anniversary every year!) I brought with me my beloved black muck boots. I love them so much I wear them almost every single day.

When it's cold, when it's hot, when it's raining, and when it's not!

My husband has pretty much hated them from day one. Hated them so much after popping the question of "Will you marry me?" he followed it with, "Well now that we are engaged I think it is time to get rid of your muck boots." I just smiled and said "Okay Honey", when I was really thinking "He's CRAZY if he thinks I am getting rid of those muck boots!".

I just think they are so great to slip on and I never have to think twice about entering a cattle lot on short notice or of stepping into a muddy garden.

So, a few months after our engagement we are at our wedding dance. There is something in South Dakota they like to call the "Garter Auction", yep, never heard of it until I came here.

Anyway, basically the idea is they auction off the garter, instead of constantly raising the price, guests just keep giving money. When the money giving dwindles down, the last person gets the garter.

Well, much to my husband's dismay a few weeks before the wedding my Dad comes up with this absolutely priceless idea and the only people that knew anything about this plan was my Dad, my sister in laws, and my mother in law. So, they were all prepared with their cameras!

Our lives seem to have so many defining moments involving boots. From the moment I set foot on our farm with my black muck boots to wearing them during our garter auction and then to taking these pictures back in September to send to my parents to let them know we were expecting our first little one.

I would say boots always put a smile on my face and now it's time for me to put one on yours!
