Stuff, Stuff and more Stuff

It is quite the experience to watch all of your belongings get packed up to move across the country! I am so very thankful that the Army takes care of all the packing and moving for us. There is no way I would want to do all this packing myself...no matter how much the Army would pay me to do it!!
This move is a little different because we are going somewhere we've never been before and we don't know how long it will take us to find somewhere to live once we get there. Going from Alabama to New York with stops in Georgia and Colorado in between means lots of different types of clothes and plenty of toys and DVDs to keep Addison busy on the way. Originally we were going to pull a small trailer to make sure we could carry everything we would need, but since Chad broke his elbow, we didn't think him driving with one arm, hauling a trailer all the way to New York was the best option! It will be interesting to see if we can get everything in our cars!!
We are praying it doesn't take too long to find a house in New York, but we are discouraged each day as we look online at the available rentals in the area. Chad is ADDICTED to AHRN and other websites that have housing information. Some of the houses we have found are hilarious. Like this one...

Apparently the owners loved the look and feels of wood!!

Or this one...


Don't think those stairs are kid friendly!

It will be interesting to see how the Lord provides for us. Until then we will be in temporary mode...living out of suitcases and eating out way too much!

Curriculum Review 2017-18

                                  Curriculum Review 2017-18 I believe I started last year's post by saying "This was the most difficult school year to date." While overall it was a good year, it was different kind of difficult.  A deployment and chronic mastitis were replaced with starting a new Co-Op and writing a book.   While I don't know that I would recommend writing a book in 10 months while homeschooling, during one of the busiest seasons of your husband's job, I am thankful for the year we had.  The past year brought more personal growth for me than any other year.  Homeschooling truly is a refining fire and I am thankful for the lessons we all learn in the process.   Here’s a roundup of what we used this year and how it worked for us: Addison – 5 th  Grade Bible, History, Literature, Geography & Writing – Tapestry of Grace, Year 2, Dialectic...

Blogs are interesting.  Some share decorating ideas, some political philosophy, some day to day happenings and many more pictures of family and friends.  We keep everyone updated on the fun events and happy occasions of our everyday lives.  While some people take it a bit to far, I think most of us are not always so quick to share those not so happy moments though...  The moments that we fail completely as a parent.  The moments that we are to busy to stop and help.  The moments we sit in silence and wonder why.  The moments when life is just flat out hard.  In a few weeks I will watch my husband go off to war.   In a few weeks I will have to help a little 3 year old mind grasp how long a year is and how far away daddy will be.   I just found out this morning that my aunt passed away.   Next week the list of names I know on headstones at Arlington will get a little bit longer.  I ache for my friends whose husbands won'...
