Owners

Harmony, Dustin, and their darling bunch of cowgirls live, love, and ranch in the high mountain deserts of Southern Utah. But perhaps we should start from the beginning, a love story that went something like this: August 1986: Harmony – Kindergarten, Dustin – 2nd grade, Harmony oblivious, Dustin thinks girls have cooties. 1997-1998: Serving on seminary council together, Harmony interested, Dustin oblivious. July ’99-Aug ’01: Dustin serves mission for church to Houston, TX, Harmony writes faithfully, Dustin oblivious. Sept. 2001: Dustin home from mission, Harmony given up, Dustin interested. Oct. 2001: Chasing wild cows together, Harmony interested, Dustin interested. October 14 2001: Engaged, Ride bareback into sunset – same horse of course. Yes, folks! That’s the story. Dustin and Harmony grew up in Southern Utah, Dustin working on a ranch neighboring Harmony’s family’s ranch. Beginning at age 11, Dustin worked in exchange for cattle instead of cash. His first cow, Daisy, was the start of their ranch. Always good friends, but never really dating until college, Dustin and Harmony, as you can see from the timeline, had a quick engagement, and quickly started a family. Exactly one year to the day, they welcomed the first of six daughters into their home. Yes, six! Daughters! You read that correctly. They have six daughters. But don’t pity them. They wouldn’t have it any other way. Matter of fact, they have found it an added benefit. When you only have daughters, but still need help running the ranch, the daughters do the work of any cowboy. What a special life. They have found their livelihood, and the love and emulation of Jesus Christ, has helped mold their daughters into some pretty special people. Their girls are confident, strong and kind. And while they acknowledge they still have a ways to go, what a way to grow up! A life this awesome has to be shared. The Cox family is excited to welcome friends to experience a piece of their heaven. They call all their guests friends, because history has shown, guests come as strangers, but leave with treasured memories, and even more treasured friendships.
