Convention and Packing

Wow!!! Convention was so amazing!!! I was so blessed last week at the Idaho homeschool convention. I still haven't wrapped my mind around all the information, encouragement and calls to action that were presented. I am more confident and reassured that the path we have chosen for our family is where we are meant to be. I learned so much from not only the speakers but the moms I met. I ran into a former teacher of mine from my senior year. It was great catching up with her and hearing about her journey into homeschooling. I met some great moms that gave me so much encouragement and great ideas for next year. But as I sit here typing my mind is currently swarming with all that I need to accomplish this week. We will be moving in 11ish days. We haven't nailed down our official move date yet. But this week is the only week in June that Jeremy and I will both be home. So this is the pack up everything you can live without week. Moving is such a pain!! It has its perks but it is still such a pain!! I do enjoy the opportunity to purge but then there is the question of what to do with all that you purge. Do you have a garage sale and then have to deal with yet another pain. Do you load it all up and just donate it...or just put in a box and leave it out on trash day. At any rate I have come to the conclusion that in the two years we have lived in our current home we have accumulated so much stuff! And with us downsizing from 2600sq feet to 1700sq feet it will be interesting to see how I will fit it all in the new house. It will be interesting I am sure. I am so looking forward to getting my family all settled in to our new home and am praying that the girls will transition well and the stress will stay on the low side.
