Blog Resurrection

I started this blog with all the best intentions of keeping up with it. Let's ignore the fact that this is like the 5th blog I have started. But hey, my posting streak lasted longer than any of them, and I haven't deleted it yet!

So anyway...it's been a long time since I posted. Like 8+ months. Oops. Well, I have a good excuse! Last time I wrote I mentioned that we had accepted an offer on our house in Kansas. Well, I am very happy to announce that it all went through and we have been official North Carolina residents since June 23rd. YAY! This year has been so incredible. I have wanted to move home for so long and wasn't sure it would ever happen and not only did it happen, but we were immensely blessed through it all. My husband got a better job than we could ever have dreamed of. We joined an awesome church where we feel at home. I am making so many new friends. Our marriage is growing stronger. It has just been so amazing. There were some hard times, some very hard times, but through it all God has been blessing and establishing us. We have also been very busy! Despite the awesome job, Matt is working longer hours and has a commute. We moved into a small apartment when we first got here so we ended up moving again in December. 2 moves in 6 months with 3 children is not for the faint of heart!

We also started officially homeschooling in August! It has taken a lot of adjustment as far as scheduling and getting our curriculum right, but we are LOVING it. It is so amazing to go from nothing to hearing your child read his first words. Such a confidence booster! And to see how quickly my 4 year old is catching up to her older brother.

So that is what has been going on. Hopefully I'll stick around and keep blogging this time! Our curriculum line up has changed some since I last shared our choices for 2014/2015, as have my plans for next year. I'll be blogging about that soon. Oh and something else really exciting...I have a homeschool room now! It's been made over once and probably will be made over again once I save some money for an Ikea trip :) I'll definitely be blogging about that!
