Well, the big news event of the year for us: we're moving to Denver/Colorado Springs area! YIPPEE! SNOW!
Dean has accepted a position that covers from South Denver to Pueblo, CO. We're praying the house sells this month so we can all go out there October 1 for his start date. Apologies to all for the lack of blogging as our world is whacky right now in preparation for the move. School is on hold, the house cleaner than it's been in 2 years and the garage jam-packed full of garage sale items for next weekend.
We met a family who lost everything in Katrina who is helping us sort & price & sell everything in exchange for 1/2 the proceeds. For some reason I'm having a hard time sleeping tonight after 3 hours of "hard labor" with them in the garage. So, here I am.
It's amazing how much quicker the hsblogger network is at 5 in the morning! Not lots of morning birds out there I suppose! Of course it is Labor Day tomorrow.
SOOOO...if anyone knows of great homeschool groups or a hs friendly church out there, please let us know.
We're so excited to have four seasons again. Have a blessed holiday!

Hi Melanie!
We used to live in the springs! You will LOVE the selection of wonderful chuches out that way and your kids will love focus on the family, it's like a Whit's End Wonderland in the basement just for kids. We took ours there all the time.
My dad still lives in the Springs but he's moving here, I hope, this winter. You will love it there, it's beautiful, and sunny most of the time, even in winter!
Next move: the NW???
Love ya

Congrats on the move. I'll keep it in my prayers. And you enjoy all that snow.
Me, I'm praying that when we move next year, I'm not in a heavy snow area. Ick! I hate to be cold. ROFL

Praying the your house will sell quickly and that God would lead you to the church where you're supposed to be. Our former music pastor returned to a Calvary Chapel church in Denver, I don't know much about the church but with him there I'm sure the worship is awesome and they are a fabulous family (their kids were too young to know whether they would be homeschooled, so I'm not sure)...
God knows!
