About Me

Carrie
Andrew and I have been happily married for 18 years. We educate our children at home. In the past we have farmed dairy goats, cows, a horse, commercial poultry, you name it we have done it. Currently we have two great Pyrenees dogs, four newborn Pyrenees puppies, lots of barn cats, three Rex rabbits and nine baby bunnies.
