2 years ago today we started living our dream, it seems like only yesterday we made the big move,
was it really two years the barn was stacked up with all our belongings
Was it really two years ago we stood and looked at the land and thought its so big what are we going to do with it
2 years on and we have raised our own pigs, bees,chickens, turkeys, ducks, lambs, goats and alpacas
We have grown our own vegetables
We have done so much, learned so much, cried, laughed, there has been lots of ups and some downs and we love it more and more each day, we are having a great life and sharing it with family and friends, what more could we possible want.
Thank you all for coming along on the journey with us.
