We chose family over work this weekend, and we both needed it. As a good friend reminded me I need to take care of my body, so I can take care of my family. Everyone else will be fine. We both have taken on a lot of stress, we have a lot of big projects planned for this fall, and even more things planned for 2027, and we needed to slow down. My body has been inflamed, and I needed this. When I need reminded of my priorities I ask myself this question:

If I died tomorrow, would I wish I had made different choices?

I ask myself that more than most people probably do.

When I was young, I lost my aunt and three cousins in a house fire the day after Christmas. I remember waking up on December 26th, waking my parents to their phone ringing it was like 2 or 3am. There’s no preparing for something like that. It’s the kind of loss that splits your life into a before and an after. From that moment on, I knew I needed to get myself right with the Lord — not someday, not when it was convenient, but right then.

Since that day I ask myself: Did I do my best today? Did I give it everything I had? Did I choose to do the right thing even when it wasn’t the fun thing, even when nobody was watching, even when the easy road was sitting right there?

Am I being the person God called me to be — or the person society told me it was okay to be? Because those are rarely the same thing.

Nobody’s perfect. I’m certainly not. But if you go through life with the intention of leaving it better than you found it, and you take each day and build something you’re proud of.

That’s a life worth living. That’s a life to be proud of.

Let me tell you a story…. Part 1: We moved. 🏡

Moving wasn’t something either of us wanted to do, but we knew it would happen eventually. So we started praying — for the little things and the big ones. A shop for equipment. A garage. Built-ins and character. A big kitchen with all the cabinets, because we love to cook. A two-story, which isn’t easy to find around here. A safe place for our kids to run. Grass for our cows. An owner who had it on their heart to sell to a young family who’d give their old home new life. This was a prayer we never expected God to answer.

Last week, we closed on that house that we purchased from those sellers.

The house we prayed for is the house we bought. Every single thing on our hearts — He answered. You know God has blessed the process when you sign the papers and instantly feel peace.

We can’t wait to make memories here, raise our babies here, and keep building this little life on Covey Rise. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover it. 🙏

Enjoy the journey. 🎒

We get so swamped — work deadlines, sick kids, the rollercoaster of life. “If we can just get through May,” we say. “If we can just get this one thing done, then life will be better.”

I’ve said it more times than I can count.

But today I’m reminded: hard and good aren’t opposites. Just because a season is hard doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy it. The fence still needs fixing. The deadlines will still come. And in the middle of all of it — there’s a little girl in sunglasses holding the wire for her dad, learning how the work gets done.

This is the season. This is the moment. One day we’ll look back and wish we could stand in this field one more time.

So today, here’s the challenge — for you and for me: enjoy the hard. Enjoy the people. Enjoy the moment.
The season isn’t a thing to survive. It’s a thing to live.

How much did you pay for medical and dental last year? I really want to know.

“I work for insurance.” I hear it from moms all the time — women barely breaking even just to keep their families covered.

Medishare used to be amazing for us. But like so many plans, the coverage has gone down.

Here’s our year:
• $12,000 in annual premiums
• $3,000 household portion (our deductible)
• $6,500 in medical — $5,500 midwife and home birth, $600 circumcision, $400 medications and office visits

• $5,150 in dental — $1,200 for me, $1,200 for Charlie, $650 for Harper’s lip tie, $1,100 for Sadie’s lip tie, $1,000 for Nash’s lip & tongue tie. Cavities, X-rays, cleanings, all necessary. Nash was having awful reflux issues, and couldn’t take a bottle, Harper was mouth breathing and had a huge gap between her teeth that would have led to braces. Sadie had a huge gap in her teeth, and was also mouth breathing at night. It needed done before cavities started.

Being a farmer and self-employed is an uphill battle, and the cost of care keeps climbing. I’m beyond thankful for our nurse practitioner in town — without her, our out-of-pocket would be even higher.

You can only squeeze so much juice out of a lemon before it runs dry.

I took a job that fulfills me in every way — but the number one reason was the insurance. As our farm grows, my role here will grow too. But it’ll be on top of working for insurance again.

They base their “coverage” on Medicare estimates. They told me an ultrasound should cost $200. Try $1,200. We should have gotten back atleast $3,500 this year. We got $497.
