"Congratulations" Are In Order

By: The Covert Farmer's Wife

Entry #1.  Wow- hacking into my husband's blog was surprisingly easy!  Can I begin by saying, "What a joy it is for me to be sharing in this, our exciting new adventure in life?"
Oh yes, this vision of ours seems too big sometimes and a little uncertain.
Hard? Definitely.
But mostly, it seems just right, exciting, fresh, attainable.

4 years ago, I dreaded the move from the city to the country.  I'm a 'town-girl' after all. I liked being minutes from the store, park, library, friends- being able to run out for errands on a whim.  Not that I shopped all the time, but I did so enjoy having the temptation close by!  After we 'went rural' (and gas prices jumped up so high), taking a trip to town in the suburban was too costly to go without just cause. (Problem: Dear Darling's and my idea of  'just cause' rarely match up....but that's a whole other post for another day.)  Anyhow, as our scenery changed from pavement, billboards, shops and speeding lunatics into pasture, grazing animals and AMAZING artwork in the clouds, I knew it was right.  The Good Lord ever so kindly began swapping my idea of modern family living for His idea of fine country living.  Let it suffice to say that the scenery is uplifting, the air is fresh and the children are healthy and safe- much different than in H-town!

But that's not the real point of my intrusion into hubby's blog... it's supposed to be about these many 'unfinished projects' he's referred to.  Of course I know about them- THEY are not covert! :)  I've written lists, I've reminded, I've waited, I've complained and I've even given up hope (on a few).  But Dear Darling, let me be the first to compliment you & congratulate you on FINISHING A JOB! I'm proud of you.

He did something hard this weekend.  He worked hard, bit the bullet, drank a lot of coffee, muscled 300 pounds of metal and accomplished something great for our family and...........
