I sent you another Freepmail.

I feel like being here is a miracle. We really wanted to get out of the city. My son just turned 12. we felt like we needed to do it now, or he wouldn't associate farm life with his childhood. I know that all kinds of hilly billy things get said about Arkansas, but it is gorgeous here! We have seasons, mountains, and critters. Financially, it made no sense to move here because my husband's business was well rooted and thriving in Baytown(just outside of Houston, but it all runs together). Moving to a rural area has been a leap of faith, but it's all working out very well so far. We're very glad we did it. I have to admit though, after hearing some stories from some of the locals, some of the rumors are true.

The Freepmail tells you about a friend of mine that passed. She was a catalyst for our move somewhat. We'd been talking about it, but her passing made us realize that you've got to make the most of the time you've got, however long that is. We really wanted this for our family!

NOW you've REALLY piqued our (mine anyway) curiosity!
