Let's Get This Blog Started!

I more than likely should have started blogging back in March.  The first weekend in March I started what I would call a "new" life.  I guess I should start at the beginning or at least give some background.  I was born and raised on a dairy farm.  My parents Mike and Tina Wilson raised my siblings, Shannon (my older sister) and Scott (my younger brother) and I on a small family farm in Neosho, MO.  All three of us were active members in 4-H, FFA, showing dairy, and sports.  After I graudated in 2006, I went a local community college, and then off to a much bigger school Oklahoma State University.  This is the time point where my life changed.  My contacts around the nation continued to grow with the more national shows I went to, and the more breed activities I participated in.  One breed particulary grew to a max in my interest book.  The Guernsey breed.  The breed of cattle is known for it's golden milk, but one other thing it should be known for is, it's welcoming and friendly people.  See, I grew up on a Holstein farm, and then we decided to get a few Jerseys, but I was the only child who wanted a Guernsey.  The Guernsey breed never turned me down.  They welcomed me in with wide arms!  I kept attending their National Conventions, participating in quiz bowl and even being a National Queen candidate.  I even met the love of my life, Brandon Grewe.  Brandon grew up on a family Guernsey farm in Northwestern Wisconsin.  When we first met, we connected immediately.  Having so many interests in common, but just enough differences to make things more lively.  In October of 2010 Brandon proposed to me underneath the Willow trees at World Dairy Expo.  That November he moved to Missouri to work on another farm.  After I finished up my classwork in December 2010, Brandon and I started to think about where we wanted to be in life.  It wasn't until this past February when Brandon and I decided to pack our bags and head north to Wisconsin, back to his family farm.  That first week of March we moved up here to Cumberland, WI.  Yes, it was hard for me to leave my family, friends, and of course the cows in Missouri.  But hopes for great job opportunities and more flexible farm schedule caught out eye to move.  The move went great.  I have been adjusting so far.  Hardest part to adjust to is just being away from my friends and family.  But I better head to the milk parlor, there will continue to more posts!
