JEEZ!!! I really need to start updating this blog more often. I actually have no idea if anyone even reads it, but it wouldn't hurt.

SO, ALOT has happened since I last posted. We moved into this beautiful house and we are loving every square inch of it. We had started homeschooling and I loved it... But after a couple of months the children lost interest, and being the over protective mother that I am, I was scared that I was failing them. So, I bit the bullet and put them back in public school and they love it. We have been so blessed that they got some very good teachers. So far, they have been doing well. I am so proud of my children. Even though we have moved a few times in the last few years, they always seem to take it in stride.

We (I) have always wanted to live on a farm. That has never been a choice for us, financially speaking, so instead I have made the decision that just because we live "in town" that doesn't mean we can't be "farmers". We have just tilled up a 20 x 40 area for our garden. We started the seeds on Saturday in peat pots and we are praying that they germinate and start to grow. Once they sprout we will transplant them into the garden. So far, the only problem with it is that I can't seem to get the cat to stop using the garden as a potty spot. Anyway, let's just hope that this garden thing works out for me.

I haven't put it on paper yet, but my 5 year plan is to have acerage in which we can really homestead. I would love to have cows, chickens, goats and such. My girls would really love to own a horse, but I'm not sure about that yet. I just have this Norman Rockwell image of my son mowing the grass on a tractor. I don't know, maybe I am crazy, but that is my dream.

I'll post pictures soon, once the plants start to sprout and my garden actually looks decent.

Thanks for reading and God bless,
Jamie
