This is my first post on the HOD board, although I've been reading and "lurking" for over a year. I have learned so much from reading your messages and I almost feel like I "know" all of you!

I had the pleasure of meeting both Carrie and Julie at the Southeast Homeschool Expo this past weekend and let me just say, they are as wonderful in real life as they seem on this board! I think I was one of the first people to arrive at the HOD table when they opened the doors of the exhibition hall on Friday morning (along with Judy, aka jensmom) and I got to order my CTC stuff live and in-person with the help of sweet Julie. We are eagerly awaiting our package to arrive in the mail so we can (hopefully) start school next week!

Anywho - just wanted to say "hello." I'm really looking forward to being "in the trenches" and swapping stories with all of you!
