If you've ever considered packing up and making a new start in life, then y you'll enjoy this faith-building, true story about a little family that decided to move from the city and build a log home in the mountains of Montana. Building and maintaining a successful home and family in today's world requires a foundation of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, and a willingness to work. As you read from the pages of my journals, written as it happened, you will experience with my family the trials, challenges, and successes of building our home and family in Montana. I chose the title "Big Skies and Cowpies" to emphasise that despite the beauty of Montana, building a home and family here can require dealing with the occasional "cowpie."
