A Year In the Making - Once Upon A Time. . .

Once upon a time, there was a woman who had a dream. It was a simple dream, but one that took courage to follow it. Lucky for us, she had a lot of courage and she packed up all her belongings to pursue her dream of moving to the country and finding a tall, dark, handsome cowboy. After getting sidetracked for a bit, she finally caught her cowboy. 

They were complete opposites; a city girl and a country boy, but each of them rubbed off on the other and soon the city girl was fitting in with the country folk and the country boy was rubbing elbows with city dwellers.

It wasn’t long before their family grew and soon two became six.

All of their children were special, but there were two that stuck out. A son who had aspirations of becoming mayor of their fine town and a daughter who was so afraid of change that she never wanted to take any risks. . .

Thankfully she met the one person who could show her that change could be a good thing. They too were complete opposites; she was often times likened to a storm and he was often praised for his patience. Together they had a love that few have, but many long for. 

They started a family and quickly, they added four more to their two. 

They shared many wonderful years together before their happy family was suddenly turned upside down. 

The children and their mother tried their best to carry on but soon drifted apart. One got married. . .

. . .another never wanted to love so she didn’t have to experience heartbreak, and one hides his pain behind his big personality. But there was one who made it their mission to bring the family back together. 

His dream was becoming a reality when he met an unexpected someone. She was unlike anyone he’d ever met and that intrigued him. He wanted to get to know her better; to figure out why she was such a mystery to him. What he didn’t expect was that she would stir feelings in him that he didn’t think he could ever feel again, not after the pain he had been through.  Will they both find their happy ending or will they drift apart, neither one able to conquer their fears or reservations?

Will the sister ever give love a chance?

Is his brother ever going to meet this woman?

The story continues on. . .
