Here we go....

I love my life. For the most part, I am living the exact life that I had always hoped for. I live on a farm in south-central Kansas. We are out in the middle of nowhere, and that is exactly how we prefer it to be. I love having space for my kids to explore, ponds, cows and a lifestyle that is significantly less stressful than most other mothers.

I say less stressful, but don't let that fool you. Stress is still a major part of my life. It seems out of place considering I live in such a serene part of the country, but it is a factor in my life that I can't ignore. I have come to realize just how hard it is being a farm wife, mother, teacher and busy student. But would I have it any other way? No, I guess not.

There is one thing that will significantly cut back on my stress level. When I get home this weekend, all of the electrical issue will finally be eliminated in my house. I am most excited about finally having a microwave! YEA!
