Georgia Farm Bureau Convention

The first weekend in December, Cory and I attended the Georgia Farm Bureau’s Annual Convention at Jekyll Island.  We start our second year of serving the state’s Young Farmer Committee with lots of anticipation and hesitation.  We are so excited to meet our new members for the committee but hesitate to see the second year members leave.  We have had such a great time getting to know these committee members and look forward to working with the new ones this net year!

After our committee duties, we all met up for some great food on St. Simons.  I really enjoyed this time because this meant I got to hang out with my bestie Mandy!!!  Mandy and I were roommates in college and have been the best of friends since then.  We have been there for each other through everything these twelve years.  I absolutely love this chica and am so thankful for this time I get to spend with her!

Two of my most favorite people……in the world!

The convention is always fun to attend.  Who can resist ALL the grilled PB &J sandwiches a girl could eat, ice cream sandwiches galore, and a rare fellowship…..not too many young farming families out there!  It is definitely a time Cory and I look forward to each year.

The Georgia Farm Bureau has opened so many doors for us and we are so thankful for the opportunities it continues to present.  Cory has the gift of gab so he loves to get with all these other farmers and talk the fields up!!  We are counting down the days until our next FB trip!!!

Its also neat to see so many old faces from college.  Lots of friends from ABAC are involved in FB too.  How neat it is to reminisce about those days, and now gloat about our kids and farming lives.  God is so good!

Farm Bureau is an awesome affiliation that correlates the priorities in our lives; God, family, and agriculture.  Who could ask for a better organization to represent our business and way of life.

God is good……ALL the time,
