The saying “time flies when you are having fun” is an understatement. The last couple days on the farm just flew by so quickly. In the basement there was a Styrofoam room for a lack of better words that had refrigerators with the backs but out placed into the walls of Styrofoam. The room wasContinue reading “Time Flies”

08/05/2021 Have you seen the show Secrets of the Zoo? The first episode came out on Nat Geo Wild in July of 2018. I have since seen every single episode. I just love the show! You get to see all the heartwarming stories about the animals and the keepers at the Columbus Zoo. I haveContinue reading “Zoo”

I love to plan out everything. I am that person that plans every single aspect out on a vacation. I just can’t help it. I am also a very visual person. I need to physically see what someone is talking about; I have a hard time imagining it.  I have drawn out rough sketches ofContinue reading “I am not a plumber”

After all the craziness with Chad’s flight we needed a chill day or two. We slept in, and then enjoyed a delicious breakfast that my parents made. We hung out on the porch and looked around the local areas, and looked at house and barn in the day light. Chad had been doing some AmazonContinue reading “Time to explore”

Late on August 1 Chad was settled in the hotel in Lubbock anxiously awaiting his early morning flight to come see me. We were chatting, he upgraded his seats so that he would have more leg room then he got an alert. His flight was canceled. WHAT!? Are you kidding me? The notice tells himContinue reading “American Airlines”

August 1, I have been at the farm for one week. We have accomplished so much in one week! Chad will finally be here tomorrow! I cannot wait! We hate being away from each other. My goal is to finish the dry creek behind the house before he gets here. My back is killing meContinue reading “One more day”

Here Chick Chick Chick Hunter and I got busy first thing in the morning clearing more tall weeds beside the house and continued working on the “creek”. My mom and Payton went to work on laundry and my dad was working on fixing the waterline to the barn. The weed eater and I had finallyContinue reading “Hoping for goats”

Over night on July 30th there was a big storm for the area. Usually, no big deal but as you know there is no electricity in the house and we rely on the cool breeze coming in when we sleep. Most of the windows had to be closed because the wind was blowing and theContinue reading “The big storm”

Chad is beyond excited to have a workshop and I am beyond excited to have a barn for animals. Chad was still in Texas at this time dying to be at the farm. The barn was quite a hot mess when we purchased it but it just needed some love. There was a room inContinue reading “The barn”

We knew when we bought the property there was a water leak at the main on our side not the city side. Which is why I did not get the water turned on until after we were there. The water was leaking over a gallon a minute which can get pretty pricy pretty quickly. ButContinue reading “Water Leak and yard work”
