Speaker 1
Oh that sounds fun I love my porch wish I had more time for it.
Speaker 2
I get to spend more time with my 3 kids and my 2 dogs. Lol.
Speaker 1
Oh how sweet. My job leaves me little time for family. Kind of inherited lol.
Speaker 2
Well what do you do?
Speaker 1
Therapy it pays well but id rather watch the lions and eat pizza all day.
Speaker 2
Lol I can relate. During my computer break I help out around the farm.
Speaker 1
Oh how lovely. What a picture perfect life :) like a rockwell painting.

True. Lol. It is a very satisfying life. I'm very grateful for my family.

I am working from home on my porch doing web design. I have 3 kids and 2 dogs. I live on a farm. I have been married for 17 years since 2001.
Speaker 1
What kind of farm do you have? Is it more centered around crops or animals?
Speaker 2
I have a canola farm, it's definitely more centered around crops but I have some animals too like sheep, cows, and chicken. How is your family?
Speaker 1
That is interesting! My family is doing well. My husband Paul just had to go out of town for work. 
Speaker 2
Great to hear! What does your husband do for work?
Speaker 1
He works for Doctors Without Borders. Very noble, but he's gone a lot. But I am busy with my work too, so it works out, but this is probably why we do not have any kids yet. No time. How are your kids?
Speaker 2
My kids are good, my youngest, Chester, just graduated from kindergarten, I'm so proud of him. How is therapy going?
Speaker 1
Way to go, Chester! Therapy is ok. It really puts things in perspective when I hear people talk about their lives and trials. It makes me appreciate what I have more when I start to feel down about Paul being gone so often.
Speaker 2
 Yeah it's always humbling seeing with another person's point of view. Sorry to hear Paul's work is so demanding, it must be hard working away from home all the time. How does he feel about it?
Speaker 1
He used to love it, but I think he may be getting ready to settle down in one place. How is the world of web design?
Speaker 2
It's going alright, it's our least busiest time of the year but we are still making enough sales to get by. Where did Paul plan on settling?
Speaker 1
I'm glad you're making enough to get by! I suppose that kind of work requires a lot of budgeting for slow seasons. I hope Paul and I end up settling right here in California. 
Speaker 2
Oh that's awesome! I love California, the weather there is beautiful. Are you going to continue therapy in California?

Speaker 1
My husband Paul came home from his work trip.
Speaker 2
He is a doctor right? Where did he go for his trip?
Speaker 1
He is. He was in Rwanda, Africa. He had an amazing time. He's so glad he went. I couldn't imagine doing that myself. How is the farm, you must be busy this time of year!
Speaker 2
Yes it has been really busy. When you have a bunch of farm animals it is a 7 day a week job, there is always something to do.
Speaker 1
I bet, not to mention your kids and other pets! Do you ever get time to relax?
Speaker 2
I usually have a few hours in the evening after the animals are taken care of and my other work is done, but not much more than that. How is your therapy job going?
Speaker 1
It's going well. I am finally at the point where the clients I am working with are making progress and making gains and getting their confidence back! It's now rewarding, I had doubts when I started.
Speaker 2
Oh okay, are you a physical therapist or a psychologist/psychiatrist?
Speaker 1
Physical. I help clients regain mobility, after accidents/surgeries.
Speaker 2
That must be really rewarding. There is nothing worse than feeling like you have a physical limitation. Your clients must really appreciate what you do.
Speaker 1
I hope so. Like I said, I am now starting to see their hard work and so are they. It's nice to see them regain hope.
Speaker 2
I can see why you and your partner are together, like minds and talents attract!

I am enjoying the fresh air at home but the kids sometimes distract me from progressing faster.
Speaker 1
how do they distract you?
Speaker 2
They are always making noise when I have to work indoors.  And the dogs bark every time they go down the hallway.  How is your work going?
Speaker 1
it's been going okay. I love getting to help people and support them in finding wellness again! it's really rewarding.
Speaker 2
I enjoy my farm and right now the kids like picking all the chicken eggs and preparing breakfast for me.  It's been pretty fun.  Do you enjoy tie outside?
Speaker 1
I do! when we travel for paul's work we are outside or camping a lot and I love that. how cool is that -- your kids cook for you! are they good little chefs?
Speaker 2
Chester is a great chef.  He also likes to milk the cows and make homemade fresh ice cream.  
Speaker 1
does making ice cream require a lot of eqiupment?
Speaker 2
No, just an ice cream maker that plugs in.  It is delicious.  Do you enjoy any good foods when you travel with your husband?
Speaker 1
that's super cool. I should get me one of those. yeah, we get to try all the local quisines of places we go and that's been exciting and humbling. food is so different all over the world. it's such an experience!
Speaker 2
Sounds delicious but also could be scary trying new things!  How does your husband enjoy travelling?
