First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to read our first post on Steemit. We wanted to take a little time to introduce ourselves to the Steemit community.

We used to live in the Phoenix, AZ area where we both had high pressure corporate jobs that were very successful. The problem was, we were miserable. I (Kevin) worked in sales and Sarah was the head of HR for companies throughout the Phoenix area. We chased after the lie that in order to be "successful" in life you had to work long hours, make a ton of money, buy a big house, drive nice cars and do all of the other things that keep you in debt and a slave to the system.

In 2012, we decide enough was enough and started down a different path. We sold our big house in the communist style HOA neighborhood and bought a run down urban farm. It was in terrible shape. In fact, our realtor told us to bulldoze it and build a new house. We didn't listen to him and instead worked to restore the house and the land into a productive piece of land.

While living on that property, we worked tirelessly to get out of debt and learn homesteading skills. We learned how to garden, raise and slaughter our own animals, how to milk goats, how to preserve food and A LOT of other skills.

By 2016, we were completely debt free and ready to take what we learned to the next level. We quit our "good' jobs and sold the urban farm so that we could move our family to the Missouri Ozark's.

We have been full time homesteaders for a little over a year now and LOVE IT! We have never been happier and our relationships with each other and our children have never been stronger.

This is where the story picks up...We hope you will follow along as we continue to transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders in the Missouri Ozark's!
