What could that title possibly mean? Exactly what it says. Maid of Honor Oatmeal and I spent the better part of a Sunday afternoon driving around in a seriously sweet ride, scavenging for wood.

So guess who got to benefit from that, in the hopes of making signs such as these?

After visiting with a couple horses, we headed out to the infamous pile, got a little dirty, and found some prospects.

That’s Boo. He was hungry for some fence.

Some more horses whose names I can’t remember.

Miss Oatmeal, left. MOH Oatmeal, right.

Wood!

After collecting our super cool (read: free) finds, we headed back to the shop to do a little damage. So it turns out, using a saw is real hard. But we are troopers and made it work, seeing as MOH Oatmeal’s Facebook status update in the middle of our activity was as follows: “Wedding projects for Miss Oatmeal sometimes include power tools.

And by breaks, I mean hand the saw over to someone else.

This was actually a lot funnier in person because Bubba* was going crazy.
