Dan and I finally got to get out town for a few days! We didn’t really make any vacation plans this year, so it was a bit of a last-minute trip, but it was so nice to get away and explore a new place. When I told Dan we should take a long weekend and
Last week, my parents had the grandkids for four days. For almost a week leading up to it, my oldest nephew, Connor, was asking if he could have a sleepover at our house. This isn’t the first time he’s asked to stay over, so we finally said he could plan on staying over one night

What a wonderful, busy week it was! Two months ago, the NATE staff moved into our brand-new office building; and this week we had our official Ribbon Cutting and Open House celebration. When I was hired almost four years ago, there was already talk of building a new office, so it’s pretty awesome that it

For the first time in almost three months, neither Dan nor I have to go to the farm AND we have zero plans. Don’t get me wrong, I love the farm, and I love how much Dan loves the farm. But this time of year starts getting crazy with planting, picking rock, miscellaneous projects of
