About Me:

In 2006 I quit my city job of 20+ years to remarry, move and become a "farm wife". For the most part, I am a stay at home mom.

As of the 2007 school year, we are a homeschooling family.

We also farm. Our farms include a large garden, haying, horses, cows, geese, chickens, ducks, pigs, rabbits, 2 stocked ponds, small vineyard and an orchard.

We live at the main farm (the one with the animals) and our other farm is currently growing hay, nuts and firewood to harvest this fall.
In the spring we will be adding sheep, and turkeys.

We have 5 daughters, (including 2 sets of twins) 3 who are still at home.

I love to camp, travel, garden, fish, bake, do needlework, sew, genealogy and ride horses. One of my favorite places to travel to is Northern Indiana (LaGrange county), where I have Amish cousins and to learn about my ancestors.

My goal is to help this family stay on track financially and to stay out of debt, other than our mortgage.

$3.50 spent

Spent $3.50 for milk today on the way home from church. Had a potluck dinner at church and did the Dave Ramsey thing this afternoon so the guys could watch the superbowl tonight.

Got to see DH for about 20 minutes when we got home, then he left for work. This week he is nights, so I won't see him again until Tuesday evening, due to my sub teaching this week. He works 12 hr shifts, and has an hour commute, so he gets home after I leave, and sleeps, then is gone before I get home. Since we haven't been married but 7 months, he probably thinks he is single again.

Did you actually see Dave? If so was it worth it?

Didn't see him in person, but if he comes to town, I'd love to.
Our church is sponsoring a class, so I am seeing him on DVD. Its a 13 week course and we meet every Sunday. So far we have meet 3 times. The DVD of Dave is recorded as he does one of his shows--so, what we are doing basically is the same as if we were at his show. I would recomend it highly. He points out things we normally don't even think about.

Years ago when we were first married, I worked evenings and he worked days. We hardly saw each other!
