Our New Life on the Dairy










As you all know, we got married just three and a half months ago, and our lives have changed dramatically. Not only have we moved 3 hours away from our family and friends, but our occupations have both changed drastically.



Greg is managing the dairy that we now live on. He is enjoying it and, comes to find out, has a knack for it. He has caught on to the many different things there is to know about running a dairy. For those of you who don't know him very well, this doesn't suprise any of his family or friends. Greg is extremly smart, and can do anything he puts his mind to. His hours are a little strange. He works on and off for the good part of the day. Some days he works 6 hours and other days he works 10. It all depends if something goes wrong or needs fixing. He loves being outside, and the odd hours don't bother him at all. We are thinking this will be a permanent career!



I (Megan) have also kind of changed my work. I am currently not "working" at the moment. I did hair down south, for those of you who didn't know, and succeeded at it. After the rush wedding planning and the big move i needed a break. Now I am really enjoying being a housewife. I still do hair and am gaining some clients, but I do it at my house now. When i am not doing hair, I do a ton of laundry, clean house, cook, and keep the house running smoothly. Its difficult to live so far away from everything (about 25-30 mins), so running errands is an all-day task. Anyway, I love it and Greg does too :)



At Christmas time we decided to get a puppy! Her name is Dakota, she is half lab and german shepard. We have been training her, and she gets better with every day. She goes out with Greg every morning and is very playful. She is adorable and we enjoy having her in our new little family!



For those of you who don't know this part, Greg has 5 brothers and I have 1 brother and 1 sister. Greg's #2 in his lineup and his older brother lives in New Mexico with his wife(Angie) and their 4 kids (Breanna, Bryce, Anneke and Elizabeth). It is great having neices and nehews and we have more additions! My brother and his wife Tracy had their beautiful baby boy (Connor) on Dec.24th! He is doing great and growing fast! Steve( brother #3) and his wife Adri are expecting their little girl any day now! Our family is growing and it's such a blessing!



So to wrap this up, we are enjoying our new life! We keep in touch with our old, great friends and are making new ones as well! Thank you all for the love and support, and we look foward to keeping you updated on our new lives!
