TORCH

Ever since we decided to give this 

homeschooling thing

a shot...

I have been eager 

to get in touch with some other

homeschool moms.

Last week, 

I sent out a few e-mails to different groups 

trying to get info on their next meetings

hoping we could attend.

It just so happened that two different groups

had a meeting type thing

today - at the same time

but at two different locations.

Understandably.

I decided to hit one and then 

hoped that the other would still 

be going and we could hit the

tail end of the second.

The first turned out to be a 

park play-date

we were one of the two 

families that showed up...

the other family,

was the organizer!

So that turned out to be a huge

disappointment.

We cut our 

park playtime short

and headed off to the second one,

hoping it was still going.

It was!  We got there a little late

but it turned out to get almost

perfect timing!

It was a WONDERFUL group!

I am so excited and 

it was uplifting

to see all those homeschool families there!

I spoke with quite a few moms

some that had kids younger than mine

that were homeschooling

(so they were newbies too)...

and I spoke with a couple of moms

who have been homeschooling for 15 years!

And they are still a part of this group!

I definitely think this is going to be a good fit.

And can't wait to get 

involved

and

 some ideas 

and 

encouragement

and 

support

on this endeavor.

Its also odd not feeling like I am the only one with a large family!

I don't feel like we are that big of a family

and when we were at this meeting...

we weren't!

It was great!

I am so happy to have found TORCH!
