Thank you to all who severed and serve today without your sacrifice we would not have our freedom.
Freedom isn’t free it was paid for by lives, sweat, blood and tears.
Thank you! … See MoreSee Less

“Farm work doesn’t make you stronger.”
It doesn’t make you anything.
It reveals you.
There’s gym strong and then there’s farm strong.
They are not mutually exclusive.

The toughest women you’ll ever meet spend their days on a farm.

There are more uses for twine than you can possibly imagine.

“Well that certainly didn’t go as planned,” is one thing you’ll say quite a bit.

Control is a mere illusion… The thought that you have any, at any given time, is utterly false.

Sometimes sleep is a luxury…So are lunch and dinner. And brushing your hair.
Trust me, you’ll find muscles that you never knew existed on the human skeleton to prevent this from happening.

When one of the animals is ill, you’ll go to heroic lengths to minimize their discomfort.

Their needs come first.

In summer heat and coldest winter days. Clean water, clean bed, and plenty of feed. Before you have your first meal, they all eat.

When you lose one of them, even though you know that day is inevitable, you still feel sadness, angst and emotional pain from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. And it’s a heaviness that lingers even though you must regroup and press on.

You’ll cry a lot. But you’ll never live more fully.

You’ll remain present no matter what because you must. There is no other option.
You’ll ask for so many miracles and hold out hope until the very last.

You’ll find yourself saying things like, “we have maybe twenty minutes of daylight left to git ‘er done” whilst gazing up at a nonspecific place in the sky.

You’ll become weirdly obsessive about the weather.

You’ll go out in public wearing filthy clothes and smelling of dirt, sweat and poop.

People will look at you sideways and crinkle their noses but you won’t care.

Your entire day can derail within ten seconds of the rising sun.

You can wash your coveralls. They won’t look any cleaner, but they will smell much nicer.

Farm work is difficult in its simplicity.

You’ll always notice just how beautiful sunrises and sunsets really are.

Should you ever have the opportunity to work on a farm, take the chance!

You will never do anything more satisfying in your entire life.”

You never know what you will see on a trail ride at Bit and Bridle Stables.
Nothing more precious than a baby fawn just a few hours old.

Destin and I went and rode some horse obviously while in Fredericksburg at a place called Bit and Bridle horse stables. The experience was unforgettable, but even more so than the horse riding was the conversation. Everyone knows that Destin and I married early (6 months) and Lord be willing in April we’ll celebrate our 6 year anniversary. Tim and Vanessa married only after 3 months and will be celebrating 37 years of marriage! How awesome is that?! But I say that to say this. You can date a while and decide I like everything this person has to offer and think about marriage. OR, Maybe jump into marriage and find things along the journey of your new life that you don’t like or whatever the shortcoming may be (on both sides) and work through them together, hand in hand. And become a better person, or couple because of it. I hope the memories of horse back riding will never fade, but I know two things are certain, the talks with Tim and Vanessa will stay with me, and I know we will definitely be back to bit and bridle stables.. Yea we could go somewhere else to ride horses but you’re not going to find conversation like that anywhere.. We feel so Blessed to have met Tim and Vanessa. And nothing being planned yet but it’s definitely in the conversations of our next trip out west. … See MoreSee Less
