A Fresh Start!!!

I've had it....with myself.  Do you ever get to a point when you know you have to make a change?  Doug has been saying for quite a while....it's time for the cable to go, we need to get back to the basics, etc....  Well, this wife was saying, "no, not my cable.  You don't know what it's like to be home all day.  I really, really, REALLY like these modern conveniences."  Doug would be happy living in a log cabin w/ no running water or electricity (o.k., I'm being a little dramatic here) and growing our own food.  Well, today I decided that I'm ready to go for it.  Now, I'm not shutting off the electricity today, but we're going to start making some changes to get back to the basics.  I'm tired of just coasting through my day...I want to live each day with my children cherishing each day and making incredible memories with them.  I don't want my children knowing more about the Disney channel than about me.  I want my house to make memories more than making entertainment.  We're working hard to pay off student loans and credit card debt.  We don't have much on either one, but I'm ready to be DONE with it.  We have a farm so why aren't we growing our own food through cattle and gardening.  I'm not quite ready for the whole pig and chicken farmer bit, but we'll see what the future holds ;)  Alrighty world, wish us luck.  I'll blog about our changes but I'm warning you that it will probably be gradual, or our children just might move out.
