A Brief History

We made it. We finally got our ranch! 5 beautiful acres! But how? And why?

Being married to a country boy, this has always been a dream of his. Me being a city girl, I needed some convincing. But once the rug-rats came along, it became more and more obvious to me how country life could be so wonderful for them and me.

We began casually look around for a place. It was more like a hobby than anything else. We'd take afternoon drives to remote places to look at the options. Years passed and we began to think we weren't ever going to find "the one." And it would take "the one" to make us move, because we had a pretty wonderful thing going already.

Well, as things that are meant to be sometimes go, this ranch found us. We were casually looking at a place on 1 acre when the agent for that property told us about a beautiful spot on 5 acres that sounded more like what we had in mind. And you know what, she was totally right.

The house/land spoke to my husband the moment we walked through it for the first time. So, we took a leap of faith, trusted our prayers, and decided to go for it. After months and months of up and down emotions and second guessing our instincts things finally began to fall into place, and now we've finally arrived. There's no doubt in my mind this is the place we're suppose to be at this point in our lives.

We're excited about the new opportunities we'll face and the new life journey we're about to embark on.
