"Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous, and they are tied to their country and wedded to its liberty and interests by the most lasting bands."

This is it!

It's my last weekend at home before the fall semester of my sophomore year begins. The past couple of days I have been down in Columbia moving my stuff in and hanging with my housemates- Kathryn, my roommate from last year and Rachel, my roommate from the Missouri Agribusiness Academy. Life can be ironic sometimes, eh? But I don't believe in coincidences. My life is full of too many of them for me to believe that!

We had a few issues getting our wireless internet hooked up (and as I'm sure you've figured out I'm more dependent on the internet than I'd like to admit), but Dad had to be down for a work conference so he helped us figure it out. Yes, I may be a "big college kid" but I still need my daddy!

Before I left, we figured out where we are going to put our decorations. Our main theme is country. If we have to live in the city, we are going to be bringing the country with us! Hobby Lobby is our friend. They have had a wonderful sale on wooden and metal decorations (right up our alley- there was a whole Western selection!).

One of my cousins once posted "Country girls are made of clover and honey and all things sunny" on my Facebook page, a quote which I feels embodies our mission so I've decided to run with it. I took a picture of some clover the other night and I'm going to test my crafting skills. Mod podge, sepia photo printing, some canvas... We'll see how it goes.

Well, I have a whole list of things to get packed and bought tomorrow so I'd better get going!
