I live on 62 acres in a small town in NW Oregon. I am a country girl at heart, but love the fact I am close enough to the civilization to survive. The view from my porch is our field, hills, some ever green trees, and mountains in the distance. I live on the end of a HUGE unfilled and unfinished horse barn in a house built on the second floor. Tin surrounds me on all sides and this makes for noisy, but soothing rain storms. As I sit on my couch typing this, I am accompanied by my 8 and 2 1/2 year old daughters. Yo Gabba Gabba is playing on our TV and I have a clear view of a kitchen that needs to be cleaned. Not to mention a wood stove that needs to be vacuumed... last week. The time is 10:58am and I still haven't gotten dressed and my hair is messy, but freshly highlighted from two nights ago. I am wanting to get up and get a second cup of coffee, but my house is cold and the laptop is warm on my lap.
My husband, who I adore wholeheartedly, is busy in his shop located about 100 yards away from our house and down a hill, working on a mud truck that he will be happily driving on March 6th when we go to a mud event in Sweet Home, Oregon. With that said, yes, we are a little redneckish :). My husband grew up riding bulls and dirt bikes, so I can honestly say his hobbies are much safer these days.
This is just a tiny bit about me for the time being, but in the future I will be sharing more. I can see from here that my coffee pot "on" light has just shut off, so that means I should get moving if I want it hot.
Thanks for stopping by and God Bless!!

ReplyDeleteI've been following your blog for sometime now.I love your layouts and I have watch you grow as an artist. I often imagined where you lived and thought about you teaching layouts in your local church. Thank you for sharing, your children are beautiful and I can see God has blessed you.
ReplyDeleteTake care, Debbie
Loved reading and getting to know you better. I LOVE the Twilight series too, I was sooo obsessed with it while I was reading it. Have you read the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins?? Her second book in the series just came out, Catching fire. I am obsessed with these books now. Her writing reminds me of Stephanie Meyers. Have a great evening!!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of you to share a little bit of your life with us. Your home life and surroundings are so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to read about you. Enjoy Twilight...I sure did!
ReplyDeleteMandy, your life sounds so wonderful! It's always nice to get to know team mates a little better! Makes it so much more fun when feel a connection!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your life!!!
Am I the only one that now wants to see pictures of the house/barn!? lol. My Dad has always said he wants to buy a barn, gut it and build a house "inside" it.
ReplyDeleteWow Mandy, what an awesome idea, I love this...
ReplyDeleteLove that you shared yourself here Mandy! I can't even imagine living on that much land although I would love to! I would love to see photos too. I have never visited Oregon. Love the Twilight series. I read the whole series a couple of years ago.
