Maternity shoot I did for myself :) That is me and my boy Rocky!

Howdy!!

Welcome to my blog! My name is Nikki Jo, I am 23 and I live in Kentucky. I have been working on Thoroughbred horse farms for the past 5 years and met my soul mate, Joe, a year ago. We've just bought a farm and are expecting our first child this August and we plan on getting married next summer! I also have a photography business that I do on the side!

I had the goal from a very young age that I wanted to be as close to "self-sufficiant" as possible. I wanted to grow a garden, hunt and raise my own food, and basically live as simple as I can. My fiance, Joe, as always grown up in kind of a "mountain man" lifestyle and we are determined to save money where we can. I am interested in making anything that will save us money in the long run so I don't have to skimp on horses, tack, and boots :)

Thats where the cowgirl part comes in, I loved horses since before I could remember and I grew up around them (thanks to my neighbors!). I used to have 2 horses, but sadly had to sell one, due to hard times. I still have Rocky though! He is my Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse. You will see him from time to time on my blog! He has the most miles on him and will be great for Joe and the kids to ride! I will be looking for a second horse, I'd like to do some competitions and learn to do something new, like roping.

Another hobby of ours is Coonhunting! My fiance and I have 2 Treeing Walker Coonhounds; Bent Bar and Dutch. I own 1/2 of another coonhound as well, his name is Woody. That is our evening entertainment and exercise!

Asside from all of  that, my other interests are; being an excellant mom, cooking, decorating, crafts, going to church & doing church activites, travel, attending rodeos (someday competing), country music, fashion, and of course photography...in no particular order of course!

So, if you have any simalar interests as me or am interested in my story, subscribe!
