About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

OK, my name is Kara and I'm Lei's oldest daughter. My mom is hilarious! She can cheer you up anytime, no matter what the situation. She's your go-to-gal if you just want to grab a bite to eat and hang out some where. She's a ball of energy and you never know what she'll say next. So if you want a friend that is AWESOME and is always funny and high-spirited then you need to meet my mom.
Now that I've been able to pry Kara away from the computer I can write up a little something about myself (even though I'm sure it won't be nearly as complimentary as what Kara wrote!) If you're reading this, you already know that I'm Lei! I'm a wife & best friend to Greg, mom to Kara, Evan, & Cassidy. I'm head of payroll and final house inspector to our employees. I'm in charge of accounts payable for our vendors and accounts receivable for our customers. I'm co-owner of our farm, vice president of our meat distribution business, and secretary/treasurer for our processing plant. I can make it all sound pretty impressive on paper, but in reality I make out invoices and paychecks, pay the bills, and stand right beside our employees on days that we butcher chickens to make sure that the birds are clean and meet our standards. I spend way too much time on the computer and not nearly enough time with my husband! Sadly, running your own business(es) and raising 3 kids isn't always compatible with being a "couple".

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Walt Disney, but he's dead and I don't plan on going that route any time soon.

Computers, puppies, and life in general

I need a few drinks and a wild night out!  That's all I can say after the hell we've been through the past few days.  OK, so it really probably wasn't that bad, but it's sure been frustratin...

My 1st Amish Wedding!

Well, today was the kids' first day of school (YAY!!!) but that paled in comparison to another event that we attended this afternoon.  We have an Amish family that lives around the corner from us...

Breaking Ground!

God bless my father-in-law!  On Sunday, instead of working his farm ground, he spent the day moving the dirt from the spot that will soon be our new home!  At first I thought that maybe the ...

Its all becoming a reality!

Well, today we got all of our permits for our new home!  There's a part of me that still can't believe that I'm really going to get a new house!  Not only that, but it's one that we des...
