Hello Steemit Community! I figured a little bit more about me, where I come from, what I am doing, and where I am going might be in order.
Firstly, here's me, definitely real. Totoally NOT a robot.
I was born and raised in the same town I currently live in, down here in sunny ole North Florida. I always hoped I would have moved on from here by my age, 25, but apparently, life has other plans (or at least that's my excuse to myself for staying so long).
I grew up in a single wide trailer with my mother, grandfather, grandmother, and cousin. We were relatively poor during that time, but I never went without and, honestly, it was the best part of my childhood. I would spend most days following my grandfather around and watching him work with his hands repairing cars, homes, and appliances. When I wasn't following him I was learning to cook with my grandmother or playing in the neighborhood.
Nowadays, I work in the IT field doing tech support for some software you have likely never heard of and I do enjoy it quite a bit, and I feel like I learn something new every day. But IT isn't honestly what I want to do with my whole life! I spend most days daydreaming about or otherwise planning and working towards my goal of having 10-20 acres in Montana on a picturesque little homestead. I want to keep farm animals, garden, make my own things, build things myself -- basically, I want to be as self-sustaining and zero waste as possible. And, I hope to do all of this with the lovely 
I work towards that goal by learning everything I can now before I settle down and buy a home. I try to learn a new craft or try a new recipe as often as I can and I keep chickens and various other pets as well. I have enjoyed it all very much so far and I can hardly wait to have some land of my own. :) I hope whoever is reading this, or any of my blogs here will enjoy the journey with me, I never expected there to be so many like-minded people on Steemit but the homesteaders have been so welcoming here - big thank you to all of you!
