And so it finally begins...

The "it" here would be our official homeschooling journey. Technically, our journey began several years ago when we became parents. But little missy will enter kindergarten this fall, so to most of the parenting world, this would be the official beginning. I'm excited and scared all at the same time. We've been preparing for this moment for a long while, and now its finally here. The school room is set up for the most part, and Jared and I are meeting with the administrator of our prospective cover school, Heritage Academy, next week.

It still seems unreal to me that Rach will start kindergarten in a few short weeks. Since I'm her teacher, I figure I can set her schedule, so we're starting the day after Labor Day. I think its crazy that kids are going back to school this week. This is way too early for school to start.

I'm still working out our daily school schedule, but I have decided on what we'll be using as our curricula.

I'm hoping I'm not being too ambitious here. I'm also hoping that I can remind myself to take time to enjoy this journey and not get so bogged down by all the details.
