I have to start from the beginning because there is a lot that has been missed since my boyfriend, Johnny and I moved to Iowa from our home in Southern California. So I’m backing up a few months, bear with me.

We left the sandy beaches of SoCal the end of August 2010 and moved our belongings, cats and dog half way across America to our new home in Iowa. Johnny is a Californian through and through, so this was/is a whole new world and experience for him. I was born in Iowa, on a farm, but left when I was 18 with the world at my fingertips and eager to experience life outside of rural Iowa. My life experiences have molded me into the person I am today and 18 years later, helped me make the decision to move back to the farming community where I was raised. I see rural Iowa with an entirely new set of eyes and am very optimistic about our life here and our choice to become farmers.
