Happy New Year from us all! From our family to yours, we wish you peace, love and prosperity in 2013!
We brought in 2013 with a dinner of surf and turf, mushrooms, couscous and sparkling grape juice. We said thanks for a healthy and happy 2012 and toasted to a great 2013! Today is especially meaningful for Farmer J and I, as we met 17 years ago today. J- you are a gift from heaven above and I thank Him daily for sending you to me! (We are also so thankful for Mima & Papa watching the kiddos to grant us some 'peace on Earth' on this New Years Eve day!)
2012 brought us many blessings; some of those blessings included finding the farm, moving to the farm and living here on the farm. I pray that we will be able to live here for many, many more years! Moving to a farm has brought us closer to the land, closer to each other, closer to God and closer to living the life we always dreamed of living.
Years ago, we had dreamed of living this life. We dreamed big and prayed a lot. I think we are living proof that dreams can come true and prayers are answered...you just have to be patient, open-minded, a little gutsy and a little creative. And... have amazingly supportive parents, family and friends!
So here is to dreaming big in 2013! And now, I'm off to bed (we celebrated New Years in Icelandic time). Hey, some of us have to work tomorrow!
Trying out something new. A new way of living. A more simple life. One farmer. One farmer's wife. Two boys. Two rams. Six ewes. Two goats. Two pigs. Three rescue kittens. Nine hens. Two bee hives. Room to roam. Room to get dirty. Room to grow in mid-west soil. A wary farm wife because this is a new life for our family. But God is good and so are fresh eggs.
