Shalom to you all. It is hard to believe that summer is gone and we are now in the fall season. So much has been happening in our home.
To start off as all of you know by now my 2nd son has graduated high school this past June. I am now down to just home schooling one child. It is a bit of a culture shock for me and yet also a blessing.
Let me start off with this past year and all that has been going on since June of last year. So you can see all the blessings and joy we have had even through the trying times.
My eldest son had joined the United States Navy in June of 2007, then he left for boot camp on October 1, 2007. My family and I were blessed to get to go see him graduate from Naval Boot Camp on November 30, 2007. He then went to CT for submarine school. He came home for a short visit in January of 2008, then back he went to CT and back to his studies. He graduated from Submarine School September 25th , 2008. My son graduated top of his class and he was awarded several awards. They were:
1. Honor Graduated Award
2. Achievement Award for the highest GPA
3. Promoted to Seaman (was promoted 1 time while in school and then again at graduation.)
My Seaman was the only homeschooler in the graduating class to his knowledge. After he graduated he came home for 10 days and we were able to get a family photo done and enjoy the time with him we had. He left after 10 days to his duty station which is CA.
Seaman is now all settled in and seems to be doing very well. Everyone here at home miss him very much but are also very proud of all he has accomplished.
Ok now for the 2nd son. He is staying home for now and going to be getting his license and then going to get a job for now and take time to figure out what he wants to do. He has several choices to make, he is wanting to just take a year to pray and figure out what direction he is to go to persue what he wants to do in his life. He is such a blessing and a help here at home. He is still wanting to pursue criminal law. This is his dream and I am going to be in prayer that if this is what he is to do that Elohim will open the door for him and help him through this journey to get his degree in this
Now the last one that I have to home school is my daughter. I have 5 years left with her before she graduates high school. Her and I are enjoying our one on one time with each other. We are also enjoying our snuggle time together with a good book. This school year started late but that is ok we home school giggle. We home school year round; we are always learning things here in this house. We are going to miss our time we have spent this summer enjoying the outside and the warmth and beauty but every season has its own beauty.
Thank you for reading this update. Hopefully more to come soon
Blessings
