Two worlds collide. . . . I drew this picture before I turned 21, almost 11 years ago. It had been really hard for us both to find stable jobs. Robert had recently, finally, gotten a full time job working as a garbage man. He worked for a private company that didn't follow rules/regulations about employee safety. For example if the garbage truck was moving faster than 5 MPH they were supposed to let him get in the front of the truck. They would leave him hanging on to the back of the truck while it was going 40-60 MPH... in the rain, snow, and wind. I was scared for his safety every single day. He made very little money but was so proud of all his hard work and believe it or not I was able to scrimp and save budgeting the money to make it work for us. Each day he would work harder and run faster because he knew when he got done with his route he would be able to come home... to me. . . . I worked part time jobs here and there when I could find them. When I was not working I would

Our bubble. . . . In the early days no one wanted us to be together. Both of our families wished we would choose someone else. My mother, who loves Robert to death now, even made me create a pro/con list about our relationship. I only had one con on the list.... that we couldn't afford to live together. . . . What no one could understand was we didn't care about the age difference, that our skin colors were different, or that we came from two completely different worlds. . . . We only cared that when we were together we were madly in love. The kind of love I had only ever read about or seen in movies except different because it was only ours. . . . Ten years later and I don't want to be anywhere else. I'm happy that I get to be by his side in this crazy life. In our bubble. . . . #lovestory #interacialcouple

Welcome to The Winterstead. . . . We have many amazing plans to return to the homestead life but before we talk about our future plans we would like to talk about where we have been. . . . I'm Kayla and my husband is Robert. We met in 2008 on Main Street in the tiny town I grew up in. . . . We connected instantly. Then quickly became best friends. He was the friend I'd always wanted, that person who loved me for me. We started dating a few months later. . . . At this time life was tumultuous for both of us. Neither of us had anything and we could barely plan for the week ahead so clearly we didn't have five year plans. We didn't know where life would take us just that we wanted to go together. . . . Since then many things have happened. Changes that we would never expect were waiting for us around every corner. These changes have made us stronger, closer, and even more in love than we ever thought possible. . . . We have had an amazing relationsh
