Our American Dream

In life, we all have moments; great moments, bad moments, moments that make us laugh, moments that make us cry, moments that comfort us and moments that worry us. But most of all, we have moments that make us who we are, moments that define us. For me, my moments have made me a simple and down to earth person. I'm not your typical 21st century "modern-tech" teenager. I'm not a high school all star athlete and I'm definitely not your high school prom queen. But I am the girl that you see sporting the manure-covered muck boots and a sweaty cut-off tee, with a pitchfork cleaning out a steer pen at the county fair or the girl with ripped blue jeans and jingling spurs. In other words, I'm a farmers daughter and always will be. Most of you reading this have never met me yet some of you have. Those of you who have never met me, know nothing about me yet again those who have, know something about me, but all of you know nothing about the great moments or the struggles and hardships that my family and I live through every day on the farm. For us, waking up every morning is a blessing and we live like it's the last. Fortunately we have been blessed with one of the many great gifts that God has given us and for the past two years, we have shared our moments with friends and family. Unlike People Magazine ©, I want to share with you the lifestyle of someone who actually has to work for a living, the lifestyle of a family that eat, sleep and breathes the farm life. On that note, the journey began 2 years ago and it has been a roller coaster since then. My family and I have experienced more than we can imagine and we are living the American Dream. And now I want to take you behind the barn doors and share our American Dream with you.
