My own Farm

In 2016 I bought a farm 375 acres, I've was raised on a farm and as the second son. It wasn't I wasn't going to get the family farm, as my older brother also loves farming like I do. As a family we aren't short of money, with a trust fund set up my grandfathers on my birth and has really done well over years, I was able to buy my own farm. Not as big or as well developed as the family farm, it would suit me just fine, in the next county to our family farm so not that far way either. It was run down and hadn't been farmed for years and when the owner passed away it was auctioned off by his relatives. It run down state, caused a lot of of would be buyers to pass on it and so I got it for a good price. With the help of the family it was quickly brought up to a workable standard. The house was really rundown had termites right thru it and we burnt it down. it was easier then pulling it down and with the local fire department standing by. The barn was in lot better condition than the house as it was of all steel construction, my father said he liked the barn a lot and had a similar one built back on the family farm. Not wanting to wait for a house to be built, I bought a house in the nearby town. Just the house and had it moved to the farm and placed closer to barn than the other house had been. My mother and sister in law decorated it inside and my brother and myself painted its exterior. There was a concrete pad near the barn and we put the house next to it and used it as a base to build a extra room and laundry come boot room out of blocks. The old laundry in the house was too small as my mother said and it was to turned in to a en suite next to the master bedroom. My cousin done the block work and then we put on the roof and installed the ceiling and my mother and sister in law done it up. By the end of the year I was living fulltime on my farm and started to add other things to the farm, building a chicken run and pig sty and got some cattle and brought my horse over from the family farm. My father gave me 12 chickens, 1 rooster, 2 turkeys and 4 pigs. Seeing my horse in the horse yard by himself, instead of with the other family horses. I decided to get another one at least, my sister in law Jenny told me that there were a couple of horse at the animal refuge and so I went and got them. There were 2 and they settled in straight away with my horse. I was in the town the following week and met Samantha 24 worked at the feed store. I tried chatting her up, but didn't do any good and was told by another worker there she didn't anyone as far as they knew. Over the coming weeks I would get supplies from the feed store and tried again to chat up Samantha and failing as every other guy had before me. Only in February did I get a more positive response, not a no or a yes a maybe at best. I bought a new bridle as I intended training the younger of my new horses for a pack horse. I like trail riding and camping out and done it every year for about week, depending on my work commitments. It seems Samantha is a keen rider and has her own horse and also like trail riding. But hadn't been able since her younger brother joined the army, her parents didn't like the idea of her going alone. Samantha asked could she see my horses and I agreed and the following Sunday after she been to church and had lunch drove out to visit me. She liked my place and especially my horses and she started coming out on Sunday afternoons to ride with me, it was in May that we finally had a date. Not proceeding at a fast rate, but proceeding none the less. I'm Alexander 27 Alex for short and I was really into Samantha, luck was on my side when the property Samantha stabled her horse was sold and was to become a industrial site. On my hearing of it I quickly told Samantha, she could stable her horse at my farm. Which she accepted, it also meant she would visit my place more often during the week, about every second day. As she had when she stabled her horse at the other place. Not getting any more than a kiss, I decided to ask her to marry me and got I'll think about it as a reply, it's better than a no. Then 3 days later on her next visit she had her mother Rachel with and told me she would marry me and the wedding planning started, I wasn't included as it Samantha, Rachel, Jenny and my mother Elizabeth. Weddings are a women's field I was told and knew not to argue with Elizabeth. The was planned for June 2018 as Robert Samantha's brother would be home. I tried several times to get more than just a kiss, before the wedding and failed. Only on our wedding night did I get to have sex with Samantha and she was very willing after the wedding. She also got pregnant very quickly after the wedding and everyone in the families were delighted. The neighboring property came on the market and I was interested in buying it, but didn't want to spend the last of my trust fund buying it as I was to be a father and thought I should keep it as a reserve. But my family decided it was too good to pass up and when it with me 50/50. The property was as good cropping land as mine or the other family farmland. But livestock was suitable to raise on it, so we stocked with cattle and some goats, Jenny's idea. There was quite a bit of overgrowth on the new property and she said the goats would clean it up and there is a good market for goat products and even meat and the other family farms could also use them to get rid of problem plants and not spray them. The house on the property, Samantha's brother Robert and his wife he married a month after Samantha and me, now they lives there and works as a mechanic in the town. The family won't let him pay any rent as he is family and he can save up for his own place or stay there forever. Now several years later 2 children and another on the way we're very happy.
