 Where'd we meet? At a ranch right here. That's where we're at tonight. Small world. It comes around in circles. Hang on. Start over. Oh, we start out at Cabot at my home farm. Once we did that, we got our own cattle and got a lease place and started farming that way and now we've moved on to working for another company and running cattle for them full-time and pastoring at Crossroads Cabot Church in Bismarck. I was lucky enough to go on a very blind date with a gentleman named Cooter Plylar. I'm still blind, not by love, by a lot of variety of things. If you've been married for 12 years, you understand that concept. We met in, we actually went to high school together and we started dating after high school. We ended up back on farms. I was raised on a family farm and they've always liked it and that's kind of what I wanted to do. When I was in college, we had an opportunity to buy some chicken houses and get back on the farm so that's kind of where we're at and why we're in farming. Fun fact, he stood me up the first date. He stood me up the first date with a girl that I knew and didn't work out for him. So I was his second best. How do you feel about that? Yeah, how do you feel? Oh, my face. My face, he's angry. Didn't work out, did it? And we met in 1994 when I was still active duty in the military going to school, college at night at the Air Base. She was taking classes out there, but in fact it was both our first college classes together and instantly noticed her in class and stuff like that. It was a long hair, a beautiful smile and just her intelligence and stuff. We got married short time after that, it wasn't very long. I noticed you. He was well liked in the class. I know everybody was around him and he was always helping people and he had this big smile. He was always laughing and pretty handsome and then pretty blue eyes, you know. And so he asked me for coffee afterwards, after class one day and it went from there 28 years later, still happily married. And then after I retired from the military and took some other jobs and she retired from being a quality manager in a cadenet company, a cadenet company, we got into beekeeping and started a small beekeeping business out here in Scott, Arkansas. We met through Benton County Courage going to camp probably back in 2001 or so, it's like our earliest time to pinpoint that we've known each other. And then we showed cattle in high school and stuff together and just kind of started talking after that. We got reacquainted our senior year of high school so we've been together since high school. We both knew we wanted to come back to the farm, but I ran my shop, ATV shop here on the farm the first 10 years of our marriage to have a supplemental income, why we got our roots established of our own on this farm, even though it goes back even further for Chrissy's parents. Yeah, it's just amazing how it all came together because looking back to be able to buy the adjoining property to Shreem Farms that was already established and have our house and shop here and just really bring it all together. So I just work here and I take care of the kids and I let Chrissy do all the hard work and so I am the American Trophy husband. Wait, I think he's here. Wait, did you decide to come to work today? Did you decide to come? Did you show up today? I can't support him. Oh look y'all, he showed up today. Oh, still no taste, but he's here. I'm glad you found a taller version of this. Yeah, they sure you go just a little. We met in October, I guess we were high school sweethearts, went to school together, started dating in October of 1997. We went to a homecoming dance, that was our first date. The rest was history after that, right? I was 16, you're 15 at the time, we were pretty young. We kind of knew each other before, but we had some mutual friends and so been together ever since. We wound up here on the farm, you know, I've always lived and worked here on the farm, most of them did come from a farm family, but when we got married, moved her to cash, big city cash and stayed here ever since. And the way we met was we had a good friend that was a preacher of ours and he preached down here at Louisville for us and he wanted to, him and his wife moved back closer to her family, which is up in Kentucky, just a little bit above Paris and anyhow he filled in for him and he met Tracy and her brothers and her mom and dad in her family and spent the afternoon with them and in between church services, he calls me and I'm here on the farm doing something and he said, man, I met this girl that will be perfect for you, you need to meet her. So, but he had given me her phone number and I was, I was cutting hay down there in the river bottoms and he was behind on cutting hay and the Johnson grass that grew taller than the cab tractor and I cut up and it was just a giant wall of hay and I got out and I took a picture of this cab tractor up against this giant wall of hay I was cutting and I took a picture of it in the Senate tour and just asked her, I said, do you need some hay? You know, that was the only thing I could think of to break the ice and start making the conversation. My first date was, it was very nice. I went and picked her up. After he stood me up. It's hard to be stood up before we knew each other. That was a long story. I was busy the weekend before. With another girl. Anyway, so I took her to what I figured out after a while was not her favorite place to eat in case y'all do not know, she does not like outback. We went there, she doesn't like outback. But how was I to know? It was her first date. But I took her to play putt putt and that was pretty entertaining. We were playing putt putt. We were on about hole number six and my phone had rang approximately 10 times. 10,000 times. I had some cows out in the Sheriff's Department just kept calling. So apparently they wanted me to put them in. So I finally told her, I said, look, we're going to have to cut this short. We got to go get the cows in. So those of you that's ever been to our place, where I lived at the time was a little bit different than when we live now. It's sketchy. Like deliverance. Like we're very old Arkansas. Like and she did not know me at all blind date. But with this. So I told her, I said, well, we're going to go do that. So we went and ran the cows in. I took her outside and she had never been around cattle, never anything farm in her life. And I told her, I said, why don't you feed this bottle kef and I'll let her feed the bottle kef and like catfish would say, I had her snack. No, not at all.
