Aug. 29, 2006 - Hey you....

Posted by kampsplete
I just did this tag a few days ago. Sometime last week I think....someone beat you to it. But thanks for thinking of me. That was the first time I've ever been tagged. I think they're fun. I like finding things out about people.

We're starting school on 9/11. I decided to give myself another week with all that was going on in our lives this past week. It was a very difficult weekend, but God was faithful, and brought us through it smiling. I was overwhelmed by the support I received here at HSB. It was a gift from God...

Hope you had a lovely weekend.....

Love, Kathy

Handsome and I




First , I am a daughter of the King almighty and a a wife to my Handsome of 17 years. A mom of 4 on the go boys 15, 13, 10, and 8. I grew up in the states but married my Canadian sweetheart and moved up north. We live in the southern part of British Columbia , Canada on our homestead. We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style and use the Heart of Wisdom Approach. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
