Summertime :)

Hello all-

Long time no blog. Ky & I have been very busy lately & in my free time I have had no desire to be on the computer now that I deal with them 80% of my life. But I decided we had some news big enough to blog about.
Kyle has decided to peruse a new career. He has loved his job at Premier & has loved working so close to home, however this was an opportunity he couldn't pass up. He stars his new job at the County tomorrow. He has always had high hopes of working for the county & finally had got the opportunity to do so. We both could not be more satisfied with where our lives are going and with the outcomes of our careers. We know we have the love and encouragement of our families and the grace of god to thank for that.

June has been pretty lack for us. We've kept busy around the farm, inside and out. The goats are doing well, almost time to sell the babies :( Our chickens are huge now, I could sit outside & watch them all day long. We even have a couple roosters starting to crow. I'm so thankful we live in the country or else I'm sure people would think I'm clinically insane. When I hear the roosters crow Ill crow back and the rooster and I could go at it for hours. As for Lady and Turbo, they're good too, full of energy and loving the warm weather.

Ive been busy remodeling our master bedroom, painting and tearing up carpet & I'm really loving how its all coming together.

We've got one cutting of hay done, and of course on the HOTTEST day of the year so far, but its bringing good money at the sale barn so I guess its worth it. Kyle has hopes of squaring some alfalfa this weekend, so I'm sure hoping it rains, ha ha :)

Last weekend we spend fathers day with all of the "dads" in our life. I planned a little trip to the Amana's for both of our dads and all of the grandpas in our life. It was a really nice day, and the brunch was wonderful. If you have never been to the Ox Yolk Inn in Amana, I would highly recommend it. Great food in family style atmosphere.

We hope everyone is enjoying all of the great things summer has to offer. We have been loving grilling out (which Ky claims is not a correct statement---ongoing argument, long story!) and the strawberries we have been getting at the grocery store have been pretty amazing. Cant wait for the market to open and for fresh sweet corn, tomatoes, and watermelon.

We watched a really good movie the other night, Just Go With It starring Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler. I would highly recommend this movie, its a comedy with a great love story to it. Great movie!

As for July we have a few things planned, it seems like July always flies by. We have a wedding up in northern Iowa towards the end of the month and a couple other exciting things planned.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer and enjoying the sunshine when the rain decides to take a break:)
