Wow!  Thank you so much for the ones who voted for me, I will put this in my sidebar soon.  I am truly shocked.  I never thought for a minute I would be a nominee, it never even crossed my mind.  I wouldn't have even known if  schoolinrhome didn't wish me well for being a nominee.  My blog name is Homeschooling and loving it, however they have listed me as Our Family because thats what my dh put next to our stick people at the top.  That is  fine because that name is good too but I did want you all to know if you went looking for me.  I was nominated for best encourager and cyber buddy.  The voting begins December 3rd.   I just feel so good that my blog has encouraged others in their homeschooling, I can't tell you what your blogs and your comments have meant to me.  Again, thank you- I feel so blessed!

I also wanted to thank naturalpaths for this blog friend award. She has blessed me so much with her comments and blog entries.  I truly feel like I know her, just like she lived next door.  Thank you dear friend.   I just feel so blessed on my blog this Thanksgiving weekend.  I'm supposed to pass it on to 5 friends.  So here they are.
