It does look amazing. Such a full program. Already trying to figure out how I could use if for my dd who will be an 11th grader when my ds uses RTR.

Man oh man! I wish we were doing RTR instead of CTC this year!

I know CTC will be good too...

We're doing CTC this year and it's such a great program! I noticed earlier today that the table of contents and introduction were up on the website. It looks so good!

I am so thankful that with each year of HOD, we have such wonderful programs to look forward to!
THANK YOU HOD!!
In Christ,
Lisa

Glad to see I'm not the only stalker of the bunch. I've been checking multiple times a day for any update on RTR, I'm so anxious to get it and get started!!!!

I have to admit I am also part of the stalker club. I was so excited to see RTR's table of content and introduction up this morning. My excitement is catchy; two of my children are now saying when can we start school. I tell them hold on girls ... only four more weeks. I even caught them peeking at some of their RTR books. Thank you, Carrie, for your hard work. We can't wait to get started.

Ladies,
I am thrilled that you have gotten a chance to see the RTR Table of Contents and Introduction. My dear sister and I spent 3 days immersed in writing the Introduction to make sure it included thorough explanations of all needed areas. We're glad to be through it and pray it will be a blessing as you plan your upcoming year!
RTR is also at the printer, PTL, and we have signed off on the proof, so it is in their hands. We are currently looking at a likely August 18 ship date, which is a bit later than expected. However, we've estimated that I've worked 1000 hours in the past 3 months at our local hotel to finish RTR on time, after getting a bit later start due to our littlest guy's health issues this past year.

So, we are glad that the guide is done as close to its expected ship date as possible.
We do realize this is a week or two later than originally anticipated, so we sincerely apologize for that! Thank you for all of your prayers. We know the Lord has heard them, as our littlest guy has been healthy the whole last 3 months only coming down with a draining ear this past week.
We had intended to take the next couple of weeks to bury ourselves in the guide to come after RTR (and have actually been knee-deep in it, literally this past week). But, we'll see how the week goes with little Beau.
I hope all of you are having a blessed summer.

I have sincerely missed you this past couple of weeks and am looking forward to getting back into the board after the next week or two, Lord willing.
Blessings,
Carrie

We've missed you a lot, too, Carrie! But are praising the Lord for the work that you put into each wonderful guide!

It is so good to see you on the board, helping and encouraging all of us. Thank you so much for your labor of love!
ETA: We just started HOD for the first time this last week, and are amazed at the changes we're seeing. HOD has restored the love of learning to our home. No more groans when we start our schoolday. Only children that are sad our lessons couldn't go on forever---really! They just love all the projects, activities and great books that are now part of our daily lives. I am so thankful that God led us to HOD, and that He is blessing so many families with such a great curriculum! Thank you!
We'll be praying for your sweet little one to start feeling better soon!
In Christ,
Lisa

We have sincerely missed you too, Carrie! I have tried to answer what questions I can in your absence (which isn't much lol). Anyway, glad to hear from you and hoping that your little guy is feeling better. RTR looks so awesome!

Oh my! That's a lot of hours at the hotel in the last 3 months!

Bless your heart. Thank you and your family for all the hard work and time that you have put into this curriculum!
God Bless you!
Now, about all these stalkers, we should form a club and set shifts this way we could manage our time better and have 24 hour coverage!
LOL!
Just kidding, I'm thinking that we should probably spend more time praying for Carrie and her family!

RTR looks awesome! Too bad I have to wait quite a few years to get to use it! Thank you Carrie and family for all the hard work you put into writing the guides!

Wow!

Thank you for all your hard work! Praying God has His hand on your family so that you will not have to work so hard next year!
So excited to see the new guide. It looks wonderful! So excited to be able to do CTC, RTR and Bigger next year. I know it is going to be a great year! Thanks for all you do!

Ladies,
You blessed my very soul today!

I appreciate each of you so much. I am thankful for every one of you who has worked so hard to answer questions on the HOD board, as we've been wrapping up RTR. Right now, we have about a week or so more of in-depth research for the guide to come after RTR, and then I will be thrilled to be on the board more once again.
Blessings,
Carrie

Oh, my I'm just reading all this. Seeing those guides shipped out must have been a very emotional experience for you and yours. I have not doubt that the Lord is holding you on eagle's wings. You've accomplished so much and we are all so grateful. I'm praying tonight for Beau's continued good health and yours, as well. We are all SO grateful for how you continue to bless us.
