One step closer!

Today Adam and I took M to a seminar for the cyber charter school we have looked into for him. Not exactly homeschooling but it has amazing curriculum. We were so impressed with the program that we signed him up! We are thrilled and so is M. It feels better to have made this step forward. They have all of the basic programs for Kindergarten kids and a bunch of extras. After we get started we are going to participate in a little chef program. M has always had a thing for cooking and being in the kitchen. He was thrilled when we told him about it and he's even more excited that he will get a chef hat!

Through all of this I have discovered that all the decisions you make have an affect on those around you. They may be tough decisions, but you don't have to make them on your own. Pray! Pray and ask Heavenly Father for his advice. His opinion is all that truly matters! People may not like your ideas and plans for life but that's just life! I know that within my own family nobody agrees on the same thing. It is a rare occasion! But that's OK! Heavenly Father gave us the right to choose what is correct for each of us in our own circumstances! That's an amazing blessing! Do what is right in your own heart! Do what is pleasing to the Lord! You will be blessed for it!

Have a great day! Hope your's isn't as wet as mine!! The rain is back!!!

Homeschooling excitement!

I have been really buckling down and getting ready for the venture of homeschooling and I'm excitedly terrified...if that makes sense! What curriculum to use? Am I doing the right thing? Will M do well? Will little A let me help M when he needs it? All these crazy questions are running through my head CONSTANTLY!!! Then I start doubting myself. Then I become almost sad!!! Then I realize WHY I wanted to do this in the first place. I want my children to be incredibly intelligent. I want them to have one on one time and learn things they couldn't at school because of time constraints. I know that what I have taught M and little A are already sticking! Besides all these things, I know that it is right for US. It is what I've prayed about and felt is the best for us. I didn't always think I would homeschool. But the closer it got to M going to Kindergarten, the more I didn't feel right putting him in school. I pushed the feelings aside and thought that going to school was the best for M and the bad feelings got stronger! So here I go, diving head first into a venture that will change the lives of me and my boys forever! Pray for me!! I need it so very much!! Thanks for listening to my ramblings!!!
