Slacking!! :-(

I have been really slacking off in the wife/mother/house-manager department!  I have pictures from MONTHS ago that I need to get ordered.  And before that, I have pictures that I ordered and received, but haven't put into a photo-album.  I haven't even ordered the Christmas photos!
Plus, I need to pay more bills.  Is it just me, or do they keep coming and coming.  It seems like I do a whole pile of them and then Bam!  I get 5 more in the mail!  I wish they could just come at the same time so I don't have to be so creative in my payments!
BUT, I did get the laundry done (almost, I still have to fold Ava's clothes and put sheets on the bed) dishes done, carpet vacuumed and Matt swept the kitchen and cleaned part of the bathroom for me.  He did that even though he had to work all weekend!  His uncle pulled a muscle so he couldn't chore and the other hired-man was out of town this weekend, so Matt had to do it all by himself!  That's ok, he got to take a whole week off when we went on our cruise!
Anyway, not very exciting stuff, just a regular weekend in the life of a farmer's wife!!!

Busy, busy busy!

So right now, I am just kind of procrastinating.  I have a bunch of new books to catalog and get out on the shelves, plus my budget needs to have some attention and I have a TON of homework to do!  AUGHHHH!!!!!!
On a brighter side, if we get to move, I am planning on decorating the kitchen in that 'Country Kitchen' look.   Here are a couple of examples:




I think I might have to do the Country Hearts one, I really like that one!!!!  
Let me know what you think!

I got to stay at home with Ava yesterday and it was awesome!  I am really excited for this summer when I will be home with her.  Anyway, I need to go and get to work!

Maybe moving?


Right now we are living in a lovely, but itty bitty house! We are hoping to move to a bigger home in town. Right now there are no homes for sale that we can afford out in the country, so Matt will have to be a commuter farmer for a while longer! This is a picture of our current home. Isn't it just so cute? It has an amazing back yard that faces the hills and fields of the country, so when and if we move, I am going to feel even more claustrophobic in town!
Oh well, we hope to add another child to our family and this little house just won't hold us anymore!

Hello from a Farmer's Wife!

This is hopefully a very new project for me. I am very excited about the possibilities of letting people know about what it's like being married to a farmer in today's world. Many people don't realize how hard farmers work to bring you your food and I am hoping to let the world know!
