Family Farm

I just want to share this stunning picture my father took at our old family farm in North Dakota. My great-grandparents lived in this modest home while working the land around them. My great-grandfather was once the owner of Divide County's largest barn. He sold it at one point, and the new owners took it to their farm, just outside Crosby, ND. We drive by it every time we go back. It is an impressive barn, holding up all this time. The new owner cut off 8 or 12 feet off the bottom when he bought it, and even so it's still quite large.

My family no longer owns the land, but everyone in North Dakota is so friendly, they wouldn't mind us coming on the land for nostalgia. I love it up there. It's truly one of my very favorite places to go.

My Husband

In honor of our 5th anniversary, I thought I'd tell you a little bit about my husband, Andrew. He is an amazing person. He may not be the most sensitive person in the whole world, but he really loves me and I really love him.

Here are some quick facts about him:

• He was born with a club foot and has had multiple surgeries to correct it. I can never tell which one it is, because the foot that looks a little funky to me is the normal one!


• He has a man made dimple. His brother hit him in the face with a baseball bat and it deadened the fat cells around it, so he has the best dimple ever!


• He is a very good swimmer. He swims so beautifully. He is so graceful in the water (which is good because I do NOT know how to swim).


• He used to race dirt bikes. Thats all I want to know about that.


• His whole family is super close. We do holidays, parties, etc. together. Always. They all live within an hour of each other-with very few exceptions. They have welcomed me in like one of their own.
