Do you know what today is? It the 1st birthday of The Idaho Rancher’s Wife! This really is kind of a big deal for me. At first this idea of a blog was almost a joke. As a rancher’s wife I get to do some crazy things it seems and I needed SOMEWHERE to tell these stories. And then it just took off from there.
There has been a lot of learning in this last year. I have learned that I LOVE writing (at least blog writing). I love, love, LOVE photography. If you look back over the last year you can see how my picture taking skills are growing. Hooray! But mostly over the last year I have learned how much I love sharing our life on the ranch. There are so many that don’t have a connection to the Ag world, and I can be that connection. I love it!
So I have gathered together a dozen of my favorite posts over the last year. Some are my favorites because of the cool pictures that turned out. A few are favorites because of the time that was spent with my family on the ranch. Some are my favorites because they are your favorites. Then there are the ones that I learned a lot from- the ranching part and the story telling part. And then there are just the down right funny or awesome ranch experiences everyone needs to hear!
I’ll admit there are days that I think that I can’t do this. You would be surprised how much time this takes- not that I’m complaining, I love every bit of it. But I want it all to be awesome for you! To that end I have been doing a lot of learning on how to blog, photography, writing, graphic design… so much!
I have to thank those that help along the way! My dear friend Mandy, from Mandy’s Recipe Box has done so much, especially to encourage me through the tough stuff. My cousin, Lindsay Hart with Hart to Hart Photography, has helped me so much with the graphic design, even when she was moving and 8 months pregnant. And then there are a few blogs that are my go to for learning how to be awesome at blogging Something Swanky, Living Well, Spending Less, and Kevin & Amanda.
So here is to another year (or ten)!
