So this funny thing happened...

Today, 
I laughed so hard 
I cried 
and black tears 
fell down my cheeks

 Today we started our human sexuality unit at school...

Should I say more?

Well each time we do this unit 

I start with the basics
The name of parts
their functions
where the parts are
whether they are male or female
the PROPER name of parts
the slang names of parts
etc...
Needless to say 
this is my favorite unit
I love watching kids 
squirm in their seats
makes every other day of the year 
 TOTALLY worth it

So today went a little bit like this....

Me: "The clitoris sits between the labia"
Across the room I see a hand shoot into the air this boy asked the following questions.... 
I will not name his name
 
Boy: "Mrs. Whipple, don't some people name their babies that? Clitoris? or something like that?"
Me: "uhhhh"
Boy: "No I could have sworn that I heard of someone who named their kid that...Clitoris"
Me: "Well...I'm not sure"
Boy: "Yeah, it's something like that clitoris or like fetus or something?"
Me: "Do you mean that they name their kid Cletus?"
Boy: "Ohhh yea thats the name Cletus"

I cried right then and there.

The big reveal!

Are you ready to end your sleepless nights?
Are you ready to stop your wondering?
Are you ready to stop thinking that its not fair that I know the secret and you dont?


Wellllllll 
many individuals have thought that it was this....
but it isn't 
that is just some Google baby
that I stole a picture of
I can barely even make out where that baby is.
It was weird though 
a lot of people touched my stomach 
meaning I sucked my gut in a LOT
I will never again touch a pregnant mother's belly unless I have explicit permission 
or shes nine months and ready to blow. 
It is sooooo strange to me because as I was writing the original post 
it never crossed my mind that is what people would think.
SO 
I learned a lesson that I am going to share with you....
I am really not ready for the baby page.  
But it makes sense because many people automatically think
marriage=baby 
soon after marriage.
But not for all 
and I am one of those "not for all" people.
 THEN I got to thinking what about those newly weds who want a baby soon after?
but it doesn't happen soon after
or even later after?
Is it fair that we assume
that a baby is next?
I can imagine heartbreak if I wanted a baby and it just wasnt happening
because realistically 
that could be me 
maybe now 
or maybe later 
 
So here is my other resolution I will ask a new wife the following questions:
I will ask her what she and her husband have found to be their favorite hobby together
I will ask her who takes care of the laundry
I will ask a new wife if her sex life is wild 
I will ask her what the most annoying thing that she does to her husband and what is his reaction
I will ask her if she is loving relax time with her husband
I will ask her if she would she allow her husband to hang half a dead deer on the wall of their new home?

I think my new found resolution will fit all wives..

and without further ado....

HERE IS THE NEWS....
We purchased ANOTHER farm!

OMG!!!!

I know

We keep buying land!

We are like farm hungry mongers

I will say though that this is a very similar situation to the last 
A man approached Justin and said
"I heard you are growing hops, I think my land will be a good fit for your farm"
and the boys jumped at the opportunity again!
best part is...
the new land is DIRECTLY behind the land we purchased last year meaning we have one big plot of land to really work

The other neat things to note:
1. It has a perfectly manicured airplane strip on it...anyone who wishes to fly a plane can take off from our land hehe
2. It has a pond! Which the dogs will LOVE during the hot summers. Anything that makes my doggie happy makes me happy
3. There is the potential to buy more land on the same plot over the next few years
4. Justin said I could get a new puppy-----------Most exciting part of buying a new farm
5. We are also renting another 60 acres this year to farm MEANING we are bringing our land grand total to farm this year to 152.5 acres....last year at this time we had 3....what in the world?!

So there you have it...
the surprise is
that we are continuing to grow the our dream
together
we are working to make it in agriculture 

and we couldn't be happier about it!
