I had a completely different post written out for this #fridayintroductions photo. It was about the number of days we were on for the quarantine and my extroverted soul feeling drained. These last couple days have been funky, but thanks to a great conversation with my husband this morning, I'm in a totally new mindset. More to follow on what we're doing at home to make the most of a weird, challenging, and unprecedented time in history.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Happy Friday, y'all!

This time has given us an opportunity to capture our own daily lives. The camera has rarely been less than an arms reach away and it's amazing how many seemingly mundane, Play Doh filled moments would have passed going unnoticed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Jane's Icelandic poppies and tulips: the cure for any quarantine madness.

It was 365 days ago that things were about to get wild. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was sitting in our camper in Moab, pretty sure I was reading the pregnancy test too early, but the freaking 14 day wait until you could test was too painfully long. It was faint...but it was there. We were pregnant with our second baby. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was also this day that we had put on the calendar that Mike would quit his corporate job of 15 years. This job had given him his identity, wonderful friendships, security, and health insurance. We had to very intentionally plan this date. It was Friday. Monday was April Fool's Day and what kind of person would he be if he were to quit a job on 4/1? Furthermore, what kind of wife would I be if I waited until April Fools to tell him I was pregnant? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He was about to hit the send button on his resignation letter and said, "Are we sure?" My response was, "Well, if I told you I was pregnant would it change anything?"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As you guessed it, it didn't change anything. Mike moved forward with quitting his corporate job and in the same day turned down another pretty job offer. It was official. We were self employed and relying solely on our drive and work ethic.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My point in sharing all this...there's never a good time. There's never a good time to quit your job and pursue your passion. There's never a good time to fall in love. There's never a good time to move. There's never a good time to bring a child into the world. You just have to do it, whatever it is, on your heart. Seize opportunities as they come and don't let fear get you in your own way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you haven't yet discovered the @headspace App, you're missing out. Their approach to meditation and seeing your thoughts for what they are is so approachable. Happy Saturday, friends.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We've been working so hard to design a new plan for our sweet couples wedding days in the upcoming weeks. All we can say is...man, are we lucky. We have had the honor of working with some of the most UH-MAZING people, y'all. Our couples are sincere. They're romantics at heart. They're adventurous. And they're serious about marriage. We are absolutely blown away at the sacrifices our couples are willing to make in the name of love and their willingness to redesign their "perfect" wedding day and focus on what really matters.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We LOVE you all and are truly honored to be a part of this wild time with you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

How are all you couples doing working together on the daily? We feel so lucky that we've been able to work together everyday for the last nearly 8 years. It's amazing what working side by side, sharing each others passions, has done for our marriage.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we started on this journey, Mike had never been to a wedding before(aside from being one of 7 members at his sisters)...let alone behind the scenes of one. But boy, did he flourish once he realized his job was to help folks navigate this exciting day and focus on what really matters...getting to the alter to make some pretty big promises.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We truly feel so lucky to get to watch firsthand, the love and most quiet moments, and the biggest, between our couples. Thank you so much for having us there! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In the midst of all this craziness, we're anxious to share some exciting news...on Monday! It's hard to see the forest through the trees right now. Hold your loved ones tight. Take it day by day. And breathe.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Things I've learned in the last week: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• I never thought I'd love potty training so much (more on that later).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• I didn't think it was possible to spend more quality time with my husband.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• I didn't realize this would pull us closer to our couples.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• I recognized even more how fortunate we are.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• I learned how caring hearts will always be more caring and more compassionate when faced with trials.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Share with me something you learned last week about yourself! Please and THANK YOU! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Happy #fridayintroductions from Darcy! This sweet girl is one of our sisterly pair of goats. Her twin, Delilah, was busy head-butting our alpacas, so you get to meet Darcy. We got these baby girls when they were only 3 months old. Aside from chickens, they were the only other animal on our little homestead in Conifer. They, along with our dogs and horses, were the inspiration behind Fallen Timber Ranch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We named our 43 acre ranch after our first horse, Timber, who sadly and unexpectedly died just two weeks before we moved him out to what would have been his paradise. Darcy would have loved him–he was truly a bomb proof horse and took it easy on us as we learned the art of horsemanship. We will always be thankful for the lessons and responsibility our animals have taught us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Happy Friday, friends!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

He’s already protecting his baby sister—whom he has lovingly named “baby orange.” I love shooting at our ranch and sometimes can’t believe we’ve been lucky enough to call this place home.

Completely adore this shot Mike got of Brittany checking out the scene before walking down the aisle. I (Taylor) remember climbing onto a rather sketchy pile of boxes in a storage room of the barn we got married at in Grand Lake, just to sneak a peek at my groom waiting at the end of the aisle for me. It was one of the most memorable moments from our wedding day and I hope Brittany doesn't soon forget this moment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Can you even believe we had envisioned a snowy wintery wedding for Carlee and Brandon? As we embark on the snowiest month in Colorado (which truly isn't shaping up to be all that miserable), we remember this incredibly beautiful Colorado 60º day at Mount Princeton just a few short weeks ago. Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Soletski and happy delivery day!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It’s hard to express how important each one of these women are to me. From living life together to pushing each other creatively, to uplifting each other‘s businesses, and sharing the stressors of running businesses, these ladies are always there. The way that they live life and love their families and work hard to create their own empire, is truly inspiring.
I needed some serious girl time and creative space with these ladies last night! When we moved here four years ago I had no idea the relationships that I would build in such a short period of time. Thank each of you for doing what you do and bring true to who you are.
