Our Dream...

There is a song that says:

"There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere..."

Well, this might be a little sappy sounding, but the words to this song, in part, perfectly describe our family's dream farm.

In our vision for the "perfect" place for us to live, we see this;

A place with enough land to grow our own food; fruit trees, space for a huge organic garden, and enough pasture to grow our own organic meat!
Barns to house our milk cow(s), and also enough chickens for meat & plenty of eggs!
We love to home-can our own fruits and vegetables :)
Somewhere where we cannot only survive, but thrive!
All of our immune systems have suffered from living in a house with mold; and we believe the best way to get back to healthy living would be "open air", and healthy organic foods!

A house big enough for us to "live"; room for all of our instruments & music supplies, room for all our home school supplies, a kitchen big enough to handle the amount of dishes it takes for our family! A living room big enough for us to "live in", we love hanging out together!
Oh, and bathrooms! More then two would be a dream ;)

We aren't afraid to work hard. We've had some animals before(meat cow, pigs, lots of goats, chickens!), and we really miss them!
We love living in the country, its the best!

"There's a time for us,
Some day a time for us,
Time together with time to spare,...
...Someday!
Somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living,...
...Somewhere."

"A new way of living"; free from the incessant headaches, the frequent return of coughing & sniffles(reactions to the mold), bladder abnormalities, allergy's that we never had before(BAD cases of poison oak/ivy!), fear problems, unexplainable stomach pain, and who knows,...maybe even free from the juvenile arthritis and type 1 diabetes! We believe it is possible!

"We have a dream..." And that is to be able to function & live healthily, to be able to give a little more then we take; to be able to bless others with our time, energy & skills.
This is our dream, this is what we pray for. That we can serve others together; in a greater capacity then we ever have before.
