This is so exciting! This is my first official blog party! What should I wear? Does my hair look ok?
For my sweet friends who often read this blog and haven’t heard about the blog party — the purpose is to meet new friends! Be sure to click on the button at the end of this post to join the fun (there are PRIZES TOO).
My name is Beth. I am married to my high school sweetie, I call him Boaz (on blogland), and we have been married almost 20 years! We adopted our beautiful daughter (“Princess”) and can hardly believe she will be 4 this summer! I am a bit nutty sometimes (probably due to having a toddler at the age of 41 and elderly parents who keep me hopping) and to expose my silliness, I participate in the “Not Me” Monday blog carnival. If you want a good chuckle, find my NMM posts.
As if you haven’t noticed by my blog, I love the Lord! I am a Christian and it is my heart’s desire to know God and serve Him. I am what you see folks. :o)
We live on one of the few farms in our area. My husband’s great grandfather built our home back in 1900. We have crooked doors and crooked floors, but it is home. We live within the city limits of our little town, with apartments across the road from our house — but COWS, we have beef cows and a lot of scenery for the urbanites to enjoy. For fun, we sell pumpkins and Christmas trees — and this year we will have our first corn maze. The kids really enjoy coming here.
Last summer we had a special guest visit our farm and this picture was placed in her fliers and mailed out to the citizens of the USA. Maybe we landed in your mailbox as well. Of course this picture was taken before I lost 57 pounds (argh!). If you want to see what a FRUITY MESS I WAS when Senator Dole came to our home, click HERE.

Ooh, this is the first blog party that I’ve seen! How fun! It was fun to read about your family too! Awesome pics!!
Hi! I haven’t joined the party yet, but I got to your back door by coming down the path from a friend’s blog:)
I enjoyed reading your blog and “meeing” you:) What an interesting story about hosting Mrs. Dole! I think she is just one of the classiest ladies around!- And a woman of faith:)
And all of us moms out here love hearing how life really rolls. We’ve got those clothes and stuff hidden in the closet- dirty dishes shoved in the oven on occasion–need I go on?:)
Blessings to your sweet family. I was touched by your little daughter’s open heart to Jesus. What a sweetheart!
If you have time, stop in an see our new granddaughter- just born Thursday:)

Jill

I came across your blog from another fellow blogger. I also live in NC. We live on the east coast. Hop on over and visit my blog sometime.
I seem to be following you everywhere at the party! I suppose I’m looking at the names of blogs that appeal to me the most.
Anyway, happy blog hopping.
