Intro Post

Hello everyone!  I am attempting this blogging thing.  I don’t know a whole lot about it but want to learn!  🙂  Oh, where to begin…..I’ll just start from the beginning and try to get caught up to the present time and go from there!  🙂 

I grew up in a small town in south central Nebraska, population 750.  It was a small farming community, but I grew up in town.  The only experience that I had ON a farm was going out to my aunt and uncle’s when they were “working” calves.  I would sit up on the fence and watch them brand the calves and turn bull calves into steers.  Fun times! 

After college, my first job was attending trade shows for a crop insurance company.  I went all over the US to about 25-30 shows a year.  It was a lot of fun and I got to meet a lot of great people.  In March of 2006, I was at the Commodity Classic trade show in Anaheim, CA when I meet my husband.  One year and 6 days later (5 days after returning from the 2007 Commodity Classic in Tampa, FL) we got married.  I then moved from the city that I was living in, to a farm in southwest Iowa. 

Now, don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t necessarily consider myself a city girl, but I definitely wouldn’t say I was a farm/country girl either!  🙂  All I can say is that I had a lot of learning to do!  There are many stories that I will tell you about in future posts, so stay tuned for more!

As of today, I have been living with my husband on our farm for 3 1/2 years and I wouldn’t trade it for anything!
