In an effort to better maintain Good Enough Acres, as well as take the next step towards our homesteading dreams, I'm quitting my job! My last day is June 26th, and saying "I'm sooooooooooooooooooooo excited!" would be an understatement.Sure, it's been nice to have two steady incomes; nevertheless, it's come to the point where it's worth more to us to have me at home. Time is a precious commodity, too, and, for us, the money is no longer worth it.
As I stand at this crossroad, I look back on what's been accomplished and marvel at God's provision (as well as give ourselves a little pat on the back). During the past 8 years, we've used my paycheck to slowly pay off debt, as well as save for the land and other tools needed.
All in all, here's what we've done with my paycheck:
1. Paid off 2 vehicles
2. Paid off Aaron's student loans
3. Purchased 11 acres
4. Purchased all supplies to get those 11 acres livable (moving the trailer, fixing it up, well, septic & electric)
5. Purchased an industrial wood chipper
6. Started a comfy investment portfolio
7. Purchased a tractor
8. Purchased a saw mill
Someday, I'll be putting money into our pockets again; however, this time, it'll be from something I've grown or made on the farm.
Somebody pinch me.

I'm so proud of you Moriah & Aaron! You've done a wonderful job! I thought for sure you were going to give a baby announcement or something like that. Oh well, it looks like we'll have to wait a little longer.
Love the video. I think Elijah is just a few days younger than my youngest Ethan. So proud of the accomplishments you and Aaraon have been able to make. If you are ever on Facebook, write me. I am under the name Angela Rene Carlton.
