Christy's New Blog...errrrr, Ranch!

     My cousin, Christy, is one of my heroes.  She knows this.  I tell her often.  It's funny because growing up with some years and the entire country between us we weren't necessarily close.  We would meet up at the occasional wedding/funeral/party and have wonderful visits but nothing more.  The last few years and some social media have changed it all for the better.  Why is she one of my heroes?  Well, she is a strong positive role model for women everywhere.  She went to school forever, traveled like mad,  did the fancy corporate thang and then turned around and started to live out her real passions with a partner that rivals all mates.  They are a force to be reckoned with.  She teaches, blogs, cooks up a storm and takes us along on the journey with her.  I keep waiting for a cooking show with her as the star but it seems she had even bigger plans.  She bought a ranch.  Yep, the real deal complete with yaks and everything.  I often joke about finding a little piece of land in the middle of the country where I can raise my own chickens, pick fresh veggies and take things back to a simpler time...so I am pretty excited about the BIG plans that she has.  Eventually, there will be a barn and breakfast, classes on cheese making, archery classes and all sorts of events.  Now, I see a whole reality show based on this couple and their new adventures as they leave their condo and head for the ranch.  I am working on my application to be an intern.  I will include my expertise with training a puppy (their new pooch, Scout, is adorable), sales (especially if food is involved) and management.  I will also offer my services as a server (fast food to fine dining experience), decorator and photographer (I'm no Adams but I can walk and click all of that land).  I have a great love for animals so when the yaks need a-talkin-to...I'm the girl for the job!  AND if she needs someone to sample the latest goat cheese I find my palate to be quite sensitive. ;)
     Congratulations to Christy and Mike on their awesome new home!!! I loved what I have read and seen so far and can't wait to keep up with the adventure.
