It’s here. It’s finally here. That fabled “farmer downtime” that the experienced folk have been telling us about. Andy and I have been blessed with an incredibly busy last year and now … we have the time to sit down, sip some green tea and think about it all.

Of course, everyone gets a little reminiscent near the end of the year and this being the end of the year today, I figured I would share a little from my heart.

Except, I’d like to look back two years; starting at November of 2006. (Don’t worry, this won’t take all day!)

Two years ago, Andy and I had just unpacked our moving van in time for Thanksgiving and were beginning anew in Wisconsin. We had just left jobs, our lovely home (above), friends and family in Colorado Springs for this vague dream of revamping the family farm. I was 4 months pregnant with our first baby and planning a new career as a stay-at-home freelance designer. Andy had taken a sales job in a city 40 minutes north and rejoined the corporate race.
