The last ten days I have been away from the farm. First at this AMAZING conference in Charleston, South Carolina where I had the chance to taste all sorts of amazing foods, meet with some amazing women, and spend time talking about my number one passion.
It was a great conference and what could be more of a motivation than spending three days with so many great women sharing the story of American agriculture?
After the conference I spent a rather relaxing week back in my home state, Indiana. Today I finished that week up with a baby shower thrown for my Baby K where I couldn’t believe how much he or she is already loved!
I received so many thoughtful, amazing, creative, and completely useful gifts and advice I know I will always cherish! Thanks Mom and StepMom for throwing me such a fabulous baby shower! And thank you to everyone who pitched in and helped with everything from food to clean up. I appreciated everything! I couldn’t have asked for a better day!
As a matter of fact when I went to choose between what goes in the extra suitcase and what gets shipped tomorrow I honestly had the hardest time deciding.
Even though my Dad continually pointed out that the shipped items will arrive later this week!
I know, I can’t help it… I am just so excited to show hubby and my South Dakota family what neat items I received. ๐
Not to mention that I am starting to feel more and more prepared for Baby K. I can’t wait to finally meet the little nudger who we have been praying for for the last two years.
(Speaking of that little nudger…I believe it is time to try and get some rest because he/she has finally decided to stop bashing my belly.)
I am really looking forward to going home tomorrow. Although, I am going to be hitting the ground running! I have an interview as soon as I get off the plane and Tuesday we have our tax appointment- which tends to take all afternoon.
I prepared all our paperwork before I left, but I have a feeling I am going to have a few loose ends to tie up before we can officially tie up 2011!

Tax appointment? On Valentine’s Day? You two had better go out afterwards and enjoy a peaceful romantic dinner. It might be the last one you guys get for a while with the little one on the way. They make it a whole different kind of fun!
