Wow I cannot believe that I have not written a blog in a year! So many changes have happened over the last year. Last year at this time I lived in my own home with a backyard full of my mini backyard farm animals. I had a lamb, two goats, more chickens than I can remember and my two dogs.

December of last year I met someone on the 31st and began to talk with them daily. I ended the year with hope that this new developing relationship would be all I had dreamed of. The first week in January we had our first date, and we began our official dating and falling in love.

In June of this year, I started the process of moving to the ranch where my new relationship was headed to forever after. I sold my goats, lamb and some of my chickens. We built a chicken coop and started out dreaming and planning for the future. The ranch is so beautiful and so much life out there, ponds, streams and all the cattle.

We had a crazy summer. We had life obstacles, stress beyond words and we grew weary. Just when we thought we was getting a break, we had a break, and it was not the kind we wanted. Life has sharp turns and if you do not learn to pivot you will be stuck and destroyed.

So here we are at the end of 2024 just as it is almost a year on this journey and I am awaiting to get back into my house, sleeping on an airbed at my kids home and healing from the battle. I am rebuilding my backyard farm as I move back to my home. We have obstacles in life to work through and around, healing to take place, and growth to be growing.

No, I do not know what the end of next year is going to look like, but I know what each day has to look like. I will be focusing on continuing my process of working on my home and property. I will be building shelters for my animals, replacing trim on my home, and all kinds of projects. I will have bonfires, and a lot of talks with God so that I can learn from my past days and years to do and be better. I will spend time reminding myself who I am and Who’s I am! I first and foremost belong to God. When I get my life lined up the way I was created for it to be, the rest will be icing on the cake. I hope that the dreams and desires continue to heal and grow towards a future, but if that door gets closed, God has other doors to walk through in this life.

Okay, you have all now been updated on this life and I will add a link to the next blog so you can visually see the updates and backyard farm life.
