Recently I was introduced to The Pioneer Women.. And since then I have been slightly obsessed, just a smidgen :).. I love her blogs, recipes and Black heels to tractor wheels.. Ree gives me hope that I can remain myself out on the farm. No need to change.. Just grow and learn along with farm life.. I'm extremely girlie and city-fied! It took me years to stop wearing heels to the farm.. I finally stopped from fear of giving my father in law a heart attack.. I wore heels almost the entire time i was prego with Brody.. You could see the panic in the Brock families eyes as i came walking up the long gravel driveway 7 months pregnant.. They were terrified I would fall.. And rightly so, but they underestimated my ability to balance :).. I think it was then they realized just how "city" I was.. So now i leave the wedges at home and ive settled to some cute sandals.. and the cute sandals i proudly wear as Clint takes me on the 4 wheeler, to the ponds and thru the dirt.. and yes i think i do own a few pairs of old, ugly flip flops but my feet look so sad when i put them on, even if it is to the farm.. i just cant do it! :) Not saying I dont belong on a farm but if you asked my friends or family 10 years ago if i would ever live on one they would have laughed at you! I don't live on the farm yet but i will someday soon.. Our corner lot is calling our name to build our rustic country style home asap.. I cant wait.. But I have a feeling I'm in for a surprise! Im not a early riser, cows, and hay type of girl.. if we are gonna be honest with each other I am scared of cows! Extremely scared... I dont know why but Im Megan and that's all need to be said :).. Now while she has her Marlboro man, in his blue shirt and cowboy hat, I have my modern day cowboy! I have never seen Clint in a pair of wranglers and cowboy hat. In fact, I bought Clint his first adult pair of cowboy boots.. For fashion purposes only! When he works on the farm he wears a cut of tee shirts and work boots.. Oh and lets not forget, a nice pair of jeans! Of course they aren't nice anymore! I have had to hide one pair of nice jeans from Clint.. for some reason cow poo stains and rips have not stopped him from attempting to walk out the door to a dinner date with them on! And if you know me and him you know he tries and i say excuse you , go change! But there is something extremely sexy about a man sweating while doing manual labor.. So I hope my job on the farm is to enjoy the view and take him lunch and water.. And after Clint saw me cry over cow poo on my shoe and asking why cow's peed out of their butt, I
think he is fine with that!.. Mission accomplished... :)... I must admit I do have some reservations about farm living.... Kind of afraid of turning into a farm hen or whatever you call it! Im afraid of feeling isolated.. I know I wont be but I grew up in a big neighborhood with tight knit friends that got together for cookouts and holiday's and things of that such.. But even if some of those things are missing I know there will be new memories and traditions.. Which I am looking forward too.../The farm just got a new tractor.. ive never seen a 3 year old boy so excited.. Brody went nutso!! That is all he talks about is that tractor.. I told him if it was pink i'd drive it! Brody said no its blue and u cant drive.. LOL... That's probably a good thing! No one in there right mind would buy a pink tractor OR let me drive one!! But I will be getting a pink 4 wheeler for Piper and I, it is a must! :)..... With that being said, I hope I can be my families Pioneer Women someday.. Ree's blogs can be my guidelines with a Megan twist added :).. It just confirms to me that a city/girlie girl can live on a farm.. I know I will love it! And i think the farm can use a little frilly too!! :)
