Being in my first pregnancy and tied to the home feels somewhat isolating. I can't shake thinking about doing more with my life. Don't get me wrong, being a mother holds top priority in my heart and I can't wait for the memories we are about to make as a family.
But I've always been one to work. I hate being out of work for to long. I've been dairy farming for the past five years along side my husband, but now that he's moved into the sheep and beef industry it's got me thinking about who I really want to be. My heart definitely lays in the comfort of a rural lifestyle.
My grandfather (Poppa) ran his own shearing gang and competed in The Golden Shears. Even in his old age. He had multiple awards, from shearing competitions and also from boxing. He road bulls and competed in the bronc riding events at the rodeo. He was definitly a thrill seeker, giving anything a go that would provide him with his fix of adrenaline.
So I think it runs in my blood to find excitement in life, never settling for a dull moment. My husband I think watered the seed that my grandfather originally planted. He has a love for anything in the outdoors and it was going hunting and fishing with him that really lit that fire inside of me. Some may think it's funny that my only pregnancy craving I've had so far, is to go pig hunting!
So whether it be, shearing, barrel racing, or drovering over in the outback of Australia, I'm determined to make something of my life and to set myself as an example for our children.
Only it's goint to be a while before I get there. For now it's time to buckle down and focus on being a mother to my first little future cowboy ( or cowgirl ) ;)
