I am, first and foremost, a child of the most-High King, Jesus Christ; without Him I can do nothing. God has blessed me with a wonderful husband, Joey and given us opportunities to serve Him here, in Alaska, together. We have been blessed with five amazing children; Joshua is 8, Joy is 7, Hudson is 5, and Bethany and Brittany are 4. We never anticipated that many blessings.
I consider myself to be a displaced teacher because I am a certfied teacher, but I only taught in a traditional classroom for a little over a year. I love children and I love to teach, but I always knew I wanted to be at home with my kids. I just didn't think I would be staying home quite so soon after we got married. Joshua Samuel was born 10 months to the day after our wedding (and the other children quickly followed). I cried when I found out we were expecting. Don't get me wrong, I wanted children and I was thankful, but I love teaching so much and never expected to have to leave it after my first year in the classroom. I thought I was okay and coping well with the stay-at-home mommy plan until the back-to-school items appeared in the stores and I walked up and down the aisles in tears because I wasn't going back to school. Crazy? I know, but I love to teach.
Because of my classroom experience and our unique situation of having 5 children in less than 5 years, we decided to homeschool them all together. I am by no means a homeschooling expert, but I've learned a lot about homeschooling these last few years. I am excited about sharing our Adventures in Homeschooling through this new venue. Of course, this is my first attempt at blogging and I'm looking for help. If you have a good title for the blog or suggestions for future topics, leave a comment for me!!
