Okay- I think I'm back now

Wow, what a whirlwind of a month it's been! I am enjoying every bit of it, too. Well, we closed on our new March 27th!!!! God is so good. Due to my husband being laid off 4 years ago, we were living with my parents. We have not had our own place to live for that long! I am thankful for my parents and their love and support while we were trying to get back on our feet. It was during these four years, I have found who my real and true friends are and those who really love us. Yes, we had some hard times, but I don't regret any of it. It is during the hard times that you find strength through Jesus and His amazing grace. The song says:
Never would have made it, never could have made it without you.
I would have lost all, but now I see how You were there for me.
I'm stronger, I'm wiser, I'm better, much better.
When I look back over all You've brought me through,
I can see,
You were the One I held on to...
I am so grateful and thankful, that I can't say it enough! We actually have enough space in the house to have a school room!!! I've never had one before-not that it's needed, but it's nice to have a place to put all of our school related stuff. While living with my parents, my bedroom was- a bedroom, a living room, a schoolroom and little library. I don't ever want to hear anyone use the excuse that they can't homeschool because they don't have enough room!!! I am a witness, it can be done. BTW, if anyone has any pictures of their school rooms or schooling space, it would be greatly appreciated if you shared them with me. I am in need of a few ideas.

Here's a picture of our blessing!

Try not to be jealous of our yard! They are coming to sod & seed it any day now...


Once we finish unpacking and getting settled a little more, I'll be back to blogging.

    I love what you said about learning through the hard times. We have had some similar experiences and it is the hard places where God has taught me the most!
