So Excited!

I'm so excited! Grace is engaged! I'm very happy to be able to call Aaron brother. They are perfect for each other.  �� I remember the first time that we met the entire Jones family, almost 11 years ago.  I wasn't too pleased with Aaron then.  All he and Isaac wanted to do was hunt for frogs and toads. Yuck! Thankfully he is over his toad and frog fascination. Now he is about to become a member of our family. :-D So happy!!! He is getting a beautiful, kind, upstanding young lady with an amazing God-filled heart. She is getting a sweet, generous, understanding, hardworking young man with a God-filled heart, who would go to the ends of the world for her. They have shown each other respect and caring all through their courtship, doing all with a mindfulness towards honoring God. I have great respect for these two wonderful people. I hope that when I am in a courtship to be as honoring and upright as y'all have been. I know it can not have been as easy as y'all make it look. Congratulations Grace and Aaron!!! May your marriage be filled with love, and may the best years of your lives be those that y'all spend together!

Hello! :-D

Oh my! This poor blog. Abandoned for almost two years. :-( Well here I am, picking it up again. :-) I shall keep up with it, I shall!! I am determined. So what has happened at the farm during that time? Alot. The farm is continuing on, despite quite a few setbacks. Mom has gone back to school to study creative writing. Dad is in the process of starting up new a farmers market in Houston. Katie is working at Central Market, Grace is remodeling moms bathroom. The little kids are as rambunctious as always, Linnea continues to milk the goats and make the cheese. Emma is dreaming of being a volunteer firefighter, while Sara helps out wherever she is needed. While I, I am in Costa Rica. X-) The first full day of a three-month long trip. I'm SO excited! I'll be staying with some dear friends of mine and helping out where ever I can. So I figured that now would be a good time to pick up my blog, dust it off, and use it as a way to share my experiences. So please join me as I embark on this new adventure! :-D
