Big BIG News!!!

☆ April 1, 2013

Mike and I got married!!!!

After seven years together, we got the itch.
Pretty crazy….
Right???
I never expected (or wanted) to get married, but…. as they say….
Love has a mind of its own.

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in the baby carriage.
Omg.
Over the moon pretty much describes us.
Let’s be clear, there’s no baby yet, but that might change by this time next year!
Salud!!!

    I don’t know whether to be excited for you or resentful that you’re pulling our leg with such a happy topic? The idea of kids makes me more inclined to think April Fools

    If this is an April Fool’s joke I will be most amused at myself, because I actually stood up and went “WHOA REALLY??? THAT’S FANTASTIC!!!”

    I was hopping around all excited for five minutes before my brother went: “You know what day it is, don’t you?”

    (Congrats tho if you’re not fooling *huge happy grin*)

    When I read your book, I wondered if that could be a possibility for you two. Congratulations! May you enjoy a long, happy, healthy relationship!

    Perhaps a prank on April 1st (my favorite day!)?

    April 1st, 2013 @ 9:18 am

    Oh Shreve – you tricky girl… I don’t think so. I wish to be wrong. Happy April Fools Day!

    And Charlie was the ring bearer. He pranced and frolicked in front of the whole town, all while this was broadcast live on YouTube for the world to witness.

    I actually believed this, even given the email I sent you a few weeks back. I am a sucker! :)

  39. Phyllis Schmidt
    April 1st, 2013 @ 10:08 am

    Was Charlie Best Man?

    I actually really did get married on April 1, 1986. It was a convenient day and my husband and I thought it would be easy to remember, especially since we really hadn’t intended to do it. One very close friend thought it was a joke and didn’t come.

  43. Katie
    April 1st, 2013 @ 10:27 am

    I hate April Fool’s Day. :o(

  44. MJ
    April 1st, 2013 @ 10:43 am

    Congratulations! Either way. If you did get married, that’s great. If you followed in the coyote “trickster” tradition, that’s also great! Whatever you do, Shreve, we your loyal followers will wish you the best!

  45. Ann
    April 1st, 2013 @ 10:53 am

    OH, I’m so happy for you both! I’ve followed your adventures for a while now & wondered if this might be in the cards some day. Congratulations to the whole farmily!

  46. Andrea
    April 1st, 2013 @ 10:55 am

    Hmmmmm….truth or trickery? Just in case it’s truth congratulations!

  47. Brandi
    April 1st, 2013 @ 10:56 am

    Much joy to you both!
    Unless this is an April Fool’s joke. In that case…
    Much joy to you both!

  48. Stephanie
    April 1st, 2013 @ 10:56 am

    If it’s true CONGRATS!!! Even if it’s not you seem happy which is always good!

  49. Rachael
    April 1st, 2013 @ 10:58 am

    If you’d stopped at marriage, I’d have believed it. Once you mentioned a baby…and “by next year” I stopped believing ;P Happy April Fool’s ;)

  50. cakeburnette
    April 1st, 2013 @ 11:00 am

    And a happy April Fools’ Day to you and the Farmily, too! :)

  51. Janet in Cambridge
    April 1st, 2013 @ 11:18 am

    I’m a wee tad skeptical. It is the 1st of April. In any case, I’m just glad that you and Mike like each other and like spending time together.

  52. Marya
    April 1st, 2013 @ 11:29 am

    Hearty congratulations Shreve and Mike. That is pretty great news. : ) Yea for the farmily.

    (oh. wait. DAMMIT. did you get me? the only april fool’s joke i fell for today. dangit. i’m ashamed.)

  53. Diane Aden Hayes
    April 1st, 2013 @ 11:38 am

    So wanted to believe this because MY parents actually got married on April 1st!

  54. wright1
    April 1st, 2013 @ 11:40 am

    Please forgive a bit of skepticism because of the date. And the mention of a potential baby; that was the deal-breaker.

    Happy April 1st to you and yours, regardless!

    Can’t believe anything I hear/read today — though it would be a great day to get married. If it’s true, Congrats…

  70. Kevin L.
    April 1st, 2013 @ 1:03 pm

    Many hearty congratulations, or a bemused groan and a shake of my head. Whichever is appropriate for this post on April 1st :P

    April 1st, 2013 @ 1:08 pm

    I’m disappointed you didn’t tell us you spent the whole weekend painting your brand new picket fence white, Shreve.

    :D

    Uh huh.

    Tell me again tomorrow, free spirit. :)

  73. Felyne
    April 1st, 2013 @ 1:10 pm

    And sorry for not seeing the vertical. My brain was saying “man her lines of type are so out of character today” but I figure you were, like, putting it down to like, all that OMG and everything, like, you know?

  74. sybil
    April 1st, 2013 @ 1:11 pm

    …and I didn’t even notice the layout.

    You clever trickster, you!!!
    Did Charlie put you up to this???

  79. Becky M.
    April 1st, 2013 @ 2:11 pm

    I assume Charlie performed the ceremony and there was a barn full of mooing guests with Chloe and Eli as maid of honor and best man. Can’t wait for the photos on THIS one!! Foolish wishes to all!!!! :)

  80. taffy
    April 1st, 2013 @ 2:16 pm

    I had the big congratulations for Shreve and Mike ready too!!! It is my birthday today, and even i never remember it is the big time prankster day!! So glad i read all the other comments first! well if it ever does happen for real it will be wondrous and exciting! (and what a fortunate baby that would be, the best parents possible, a rosy cheeked child surrounded by dear critters and beautiful countryside!)
    And if not, well, all is just as wondrous!!!

  81. Liane B
    April 1st, 2013 @ 2:50 pm

    Dang. After happy, sharp intake of breath I realized the date.

    April 1st, 2013 @ 2:50 pm

    We want it to be true so badly! But yeah, that OMG didn’t sound like you. Congrats on not needing a piece of paper or silly laws to make your love true. Live it, we love you!

  88. Judy
    April 1st, 2013 @ 4:28 pm

    I would like to offer real matrimonial congratulations, but will withhold because of the date. I know you and Mike will always do what makes you happy, and happy April 1st to both of you, married or not!

    Congratulations.

    Happiness to you both.

    Two farmilies becoming one.

    Well, they already were. You just did the paperwork and paid a fee.

  95. Joy
    April 2nd, 2013 @ 5:18 am

    I didn’t see the internal message but thought you were pulling my leg. However, as someone who has decided not to get married, I didn’t want to suggest it was a joke and risk insulting you!

  96. Kimmy
    April 2nd, 2013 @ 6:36 am

    My best friend actually did get married on April Fool’s Day. Makes her anniversary funa and easy to remember… hahaha!

    Now more pictures of the Farmily please! ;)

  97. Pat D.
    April 2nd, 2013 @ 8:24 am

    Kimmy, my brother and sister-in-law also picked April 1st as their wedding date! Many years on from that day in the 1970s, they’re still married!

    Wow! What a day! You got married, one of my friends got a show on NPR, another got a recording contract and I bought a Mercedes. One of these things is not a joke.
