Whelp, things have changed in 4 years! My partner and I are now engaged :) I finished my Associates Degree for my paralegal program but sadly is has not lead to anything new. I am going back to college (at 30 :() for information technology, long term goal is to get a job remotely and that'll provide me a good wage and that option!

We are still in our home, still struggling to fully reclaim the field that had chemicals poured on it. About a year ago I sold off most of my herd and refocused. I now have Karakul Sheep, Finnsheep, Angora Goats & Boer Goats. I also took a volunteer role as a 4h Leader! Most of the kids live in the city, so I am using my herd to let them show at fair and competitions! I had about a year where I had a highland coo, but found they just weren't meant for me, my heart and passion are in sheep. I am focusing on raising show quality poultry as well as that is a good segway for many kiddos who may just be starting in livestock!

Hope everyone has been doing well though, I kept saying I needed to come back and update and FINALLY got around to it!!

There are no paralegal jobs??? That is amazing. I hope you find something or enjoy the information tech classes.

That is wonderful that you can help the kids, give them real life experience, and help to teach them some responsibility and all. They look like the are enjoying it. Best of luck in the future.
Nice cochins.....

Hey, so great to hear from you. Looks like you are being a huge help in the poultry program. I'll PM you about this, but if those pictures are from the last CPA show, I am very bummed I wasn't there to meet you in person.
