Happy 3rd Anniversary

Today marks three years of Will and I being married and what a ride it has been. September 20, 2014 was a lot less hot than it is today. We got a little rain in the morning and the afternoon was just beautiful. We chopped corn the following week where this year we did in two days before. What a crazy three years it has been.

Will and I are still close with all of our wedding party except for one usher (family drama). We have welcomed into our hearts a daughter and 2 nephews (my sister's 2nd son and Will's "Brothers" third son) and a great nephew (Will's niece's son) and in those three years along with watching our nephews  who were just month's old at our wedding grow. There has been a lot of up's and just as many down's, but we have made it.

Marriage is hard work. There is a lot that goes into taking two different people and making them live cohesively and then add kids into the mix......crazy! I can say we have both grown individually, as a couple and as parents. Life is busier than ever, but we are surviving. We have made new friends along that way, some by crazy chance (like cows walking 3 miles to their house) and some by fate (like Will's cousins he didn't get a chance to grow up with). We have both taken a long look at who we want apart of our lives and who we need to cut out. Sometimes it is clear to us and other times we had to learn the hard way.

Our farm has grown by leaps and bounds. We added farm land and pasture land. We sold cows and added cows. Will even decided to part ways with his first bull he bought 9 years ago. We have upgraded our facilities and learned new ways of doing things to make things easier.

The one thing that stays the same is the love and commitment we have for each other, our daughter and future children and our promise to raise our family on the farm. As hard as it gets we will never fail as along as we don't loose site of those commitments.
