Does one of you have butcher duty or are cattle sold and you guys just get a cut of the meat?<br /><br /><i>And then we still go to the local store in ... for somethings.</i><br /><br />Earlier in your posts you mentioned that Steve was not cool with you mentioning where you guys live.

Your positive story is an inspiration to many, not just about polygamy, but also about relationships in general. I hope you will continue to share your story.<BR/><BR/>I totally understand where Christie is coming from about Stevie. I got married at the age of 16 (hub was 18) and am still married to the same wonderful man over 30 years later. It was exciting at first as we were very much in love, but later, when I had a house full of kids and my siblings were single in college, I went through a period of extreme regret about all the things I missed out on - college, dating, traveling, etc. Once you make a decision to get married and have kids as a teen you can never go back and make up that time. <BR/><BR/>I love my husband and my children but I wish I had experienced more of life as a single adult before marriage. It's an important growing stage that helps define you and your values. I had to grow up very quickly and figure out who I was at the same time dealing with a husband and small children. I have always felt my children would have had a better mother if I had really grown up first before having them. However, no-one could convince me to wait when I was 16. Hind sight is 20/20! <BR/><BR/>Different topic and another question if you don't mind - How will all the wives work out their sleeping schedule with Steve once you get into a normal routine? Will you have a regular rotation schedule set in stone or will you have a flexible one that allows for fertility cycles?<BR/><BR/>CMCMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09877094036608437791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190362753234566788.post-14761295149879928432009-03-30T18:26:00.000-07:002009-03-30T18:26:00.000-07:00I just recently stumbled upon this blog and am so ...I just recently stumbled upon this blog and am so in love with your story. You're very brave for following your heart into uncertain territory. I have been searching the internet for stories like yours- stories about poly relationships that are filled with LOVE and revolve around FAMILY rather than all the negativity surrounding this lifestyle. Your story is inspiring and I would love to hear from you as to where you started your search for this type of family. You've been blessed with what sounds like a wonderful family, and your positive attitude and loving heart make you a beautiful, deserving person of it!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977068939109606774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190362753234566788.post-25531665422338975072009-03-30T17:40:00.000-07:002009-03-30T17:40:00.000-07:00Thanks for writing of your experience.

It is nice to see a positive experience when all we've ever gotten from mainstream is negative, even though we all know there are many happy families out there.Some day we hope to find another lady to join our family. I also appreciate how you made a few concessions to join the family (like dresses). That is what love is all about. <BR/><BR/> I think Stevie should get married, especially if her guy can provide. Maybe not everyone is ready to marry young, but some are. We would have married before my wife was 18 if her parents would have allowed it. It caused a lot of hard feelings that took years to overcome. I'm not saying we should let teens do whatever they want, but if the situation looks good, it won't do any good to force something else. Personally, I would be very excited that one of my daughters wanted to marry a decent guy instead of college or experiencing the world. There isn't much out there that is worth experiencing.<BR/><BR/> May God bless you as a wife and mother. CCUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09145753394386385102noreply@blogger.com
