Truth is ... farming is tough. OK, well, it is really tough. I had no clue what I was getting into when I fell in love with a dairy farmer. You see, it was easy for me to fall in love with the farmer.
He was handsome, hard-working, extremely motivated, had his own business, had these cute baby calves and he loved my daughter and me. I got to ride around on his big green tractor, feed calves, ride around in big trucks, and it was all so exciting.
