I met my future husband on FarmersOnly in December 2014. At the time we met, I was 50 and had given up on dating for over 5 years. Jim was 53 and was certain from the moment he saw my picture on FarmersOnly that I was the one he had long been searching for.

This past August 2017, we were married beside the Gallatin River in Big Sky, Montana, with our four children standing up as bridesmaids and best man. It's been a wonderful romance, and our love grows deeper every day. FarmersOnly has a knack for bringing very different people together, and we are proof. I used to be a writer/editor and part-time nanny in Helena, Montana, and I had never hunted in my life; he owns a snowplowing company in Big Sky and spends a great part of his year hunting all over the world.

When I first started emailing with Jim through FarmersOnly, I was a bit frightened of his hunting lifestyle, especially when he revealed he had killed an elephant. But, I quickly realized that he was the good, honest, solid man I had been looking for without success my whole life. Within months of us meeting, Jim took me to Africa, where he was at my side as I tested my boundaries and my comfort zone by harvesting my first game animal, a magnificent kudu bull. Ever since, Jim and I have hunted big game and wild birds all over Montana, North Dakota, Africa and South America, and we are headed to Australia this summer. Tajikistan, for a Marco Polo sheep, is next!

Not only have I become a hunter, I also now plow snow with my husband, another completely new adventure, and I currently write for a new client, the Wild Sheep Foundation based out of Bozeman, with my stories focused on hunting and conservation. FarmersOnly changed our lives forever and altered my career path in unexpected, wonderful ways.

Because our worlds were so distinct and far apart, Jim and I would never have met without FarmersOnly. Through their website, we found common ground and a way to share a colorful life of love and adventure.
