The closing of a chapter...

I meant to write this BEFORE we made the final move but it never happened. This move has certainly stirred alot of emotions in me, as this move is bittersweet. I always wanted to know what it was like to live like a "normal" person who did not have morning barn chores to do and who could enjoy an entire weekend with out working...but I guess in all honestly I didn't truely have that life either...not that I could really imagine myself just sitting around doing nothing all day! The move back to the farm is to be closer to my roots, to show my family that we are truely committted to the business and to have my kids experience the same childhood I was blessed enough to grow up in (even though at the time I would have traded my life for someone elses), and most important to be closer as a family...to do more together, be it working together or playing together!

On our final night in the house, we ate take-out from the Cracker Barrel which is the very first meal we shared in the house almost 3 years ago. Sitting amoungst the boxes, sleeping on the mattress' on the floor...it was almost surreal to think it was coming to a close. I like to look back on these last 3 years as a stepping stone for us, the Lord has a plan for our lives and it is now time to move back to the farm!
