The H word

I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted. April?!? What the heck.
It's been a fun and adventurous summer, the boys are growing SO fast and have loved our new little "farm" house. We've done everything from riding horses to riding go-carts, camping, swimming, and hiking...and everything inbetween! It's been a blast!
I can't believe it's already September, time has FLOWN! As a lot of you know, I've decided to start homeschooling this year. It's something that has been on my heart for a few years, but I didn't have total peace about doing it. Towards the end of last school year I realized that the time is now. There have been a lot of reasons why I chose to homeschool the boys, but one of my favorite reasons is because of the bond it will create between me and my children. I'm excited to develope a foundation of trust, creativity, and fun with the boys while they are young. I'm so excited to pour into them and be their "first teacher". I don't think I will homeschool after the 6th grade, but you never know, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
I really believe that highschool can be so great, and making memories with friends is important. I would love for them to go to a highschool that they enjoy!
So, we started school last week and it's been so fun!:) I love watching my little guys learn, I'm jealous of the time Nate's previous teachers had with him, and I realize now their love for teaching. It's so awesome to see children "get it", it really is fun.
As for me and Evan, well, we're always embarking on some new adventure:). Evan is traveling like crazy and LOVING his new job! I am so proud of him, he's done so well! Starting this month, they boys and I are going to be traveling with him which will be incredible! We're going to go with him as he opens clinics all across America. The boys will get to see the US! We're so freaking excited!:) This is something that I know will impact my family in such a great way. I've dreamed of getting out of TN since I can remember, this will be such a breath of fresh air. And what a perfect time to start homeschooling!:)
So here we go, packing up our stuff and heading out! (I think I've said that before;).
We appreciate your prayers and encouragement- thank God for facebook, right?:) Ha!
