Well here we sit

So I'll start by explaining where we are at in a paragraph:

A year ago we found out we may be moving to OLIVER BC.  We went to Mexico to celebrate the new year. Then we went on a missions trip to South Africa. Came home and deleted my Facebook. Then we moved! OH and I decided to start homeschooling... hahahaha...


Fast forward to today...


Since there is no more Facebook on my horizon, I decided to kick this up again. Too many people have no clue what is happening with us and I would love to fill them in! I miss everybody! Getting information that I didnt ask for from everybody, but was exciting to know, for nothing! Just turn on my phone and peruse! lol..


So homeschool.

Its been interesting... fun to get to know more about each one of my little blessings. But its a bit of a handful. A lot more paperwork than I expected. But its nice to know there is a whole community out there just for homeschoolers, and its GREAT! (lots of talk on Grace and hey! I need that!)


Its been a bit of a stretch, living 4 hours from my family and friends. I miss the connections, the hugs when I don't speak, the coffee dates, the unasked for advice ( :)), being able to "pop-by", and having people be able to help me out when Im having a hard day.
But we are settling in, meeting new friends, getting a new church, and getting used to living in a small town.

Today was Carver's third birthday. Oh my is he crazy pants. Its this age, and its hard. But I know in a few months it will be all behind him, ...right??!!

We are also getting used to stepping on little Cacti all over the place here, since its the desert. Its constant, and starting to be funny. Until one of my kids makes up a game of "throwing cactus at faces", then its not so funny (well not to them, and not when they do it (ok, maybe a small smile)). Its DANGEROUS... (snicker), don't EVER (snort), DO that AGAIN! Ugh, if only they weren't so FUNNY when they were bad...

Sometimes its a choice between lying on the floor crying, and laughing on that same floor. Sanity is only so fleeting...


Nice chatting with you. :)
