2012 in Review

2012 is almost over and what a year it has been for Kat and me. We started the year getting serious about selling our house and finding a small farm. We found out in February that our house sold and we had 30 days to move. We had been looking for some property within 60 miles of Kansas City, MO but for some reason we kept finding property farther out. We found 30 acres we liked but the deal fell through but we ended up moving to that area anyway. We moved out of our house March 19th, purchased an RV and moved to the Lake of the Ozarks March 26th. We spent several months looking for property that spoke to us but no much happening. Then one day while driving around after church we by chance drove up to Stover MO and dropped by a place with 11 acres. At first it did not look promising but Kat encouraged me to walk down the hill and we almost instantly fell in love with it. 

We moved to the property exactly 2 months after we moved out of our house in Louisburg. During the past nine months we have built a barn, a chicken coop, built three hoop houses and fenced half an acre for the goats we will purchase in the spring. We now have two kittens, two ducks, two chickens, one guinea and one Anatolian puppy. We have done more of things we did not think we could do and enjoyed our journey. 

Here is a slide of our farm set to Chris Tomlin's "Amazing Grace".
We have been so blessed to have moved to central Missouri and despite missing our family and friends we know that God wants us to be here.

As 2012 begins I want to encourage you to step out and begin to make your dream come true. If you do not know what it is I wold be glad to help you discover it and then move toward making it real.
