I know...I've been MIA for a few weeks now. Spring is a crazy time for us here on our small farm. I decided to take a blogging break to focus on getting the garden in and some of the other outdoor things that need to be done. With it being light so late we could work outside late into the day and I wasn't much up to blogging after a long day working hard in the sun. I will still be posting sporadically on here as there is much to do still. Plus Erik is on vacation from July 14th until August! We wont be doing much traveling but hope to do a day trip or two to the beach and have tons to get accomplished around the house!
On to my 100th post...why sort of...because I realized just now that my last post was technically my 100th post!! I knew it was coming up but hadn't been paying to much attention. Without further ado here are 100 things about me!
- I am a wife to Erik
- my best friend
- we dated in highschool
- and had a not so nice break up
- then got back together during college
- the rest is history...as they say

- (also for eating in about 2 months)
- 2 horses
- (not for eating...LOL)

- and reading books
- those of course come after spending time with my family
- that's why lately I don't seem to do much of either of those
