This might not seem earth-shattering, but to me it is: I'm finally putting all my endless homeschooling research behind me and deciding on HOD for the long haul!

I'm so thankful to be here (on these encouraging forums) and so thankful to have found this Christ-centered curriculum!

Just wanted to share! Thanks for listening!

And thank you, Carrie, for writing it!

I think it is earth shattering . I'm really excited for you....

I also think this is huge!! It was for me, I have bought so many wonderful homeschool ciriculum in the past (my hobby)... mainly had used one program with lots of extra stuff I thought we needed along the way, ha! I have found sooooo much peace here with the decision to stay and we have never LOVED school more!! Thanks so much for sharing and I am so excited for you !!!

I think it is huge. It was for us when we decided the same thing. You are going to find so much peace in that decision.

You'll love it

I agree! It is huge! It does bring a lot of peace.

Agreeing too! HOD is hands down the best and most complete and enriching curriculum I have come across in my 11 years now of homeschooling-----and of course my part-time job of researching curriculums for the 'best' one. I too have found The Best here at HOD and am so thankful that Carrie has decided to continue the program all the way through high school. My kids will have graduated---but I am SO excited for all of you mom's who get to use such an incredible program with your kids.

Thanks for all your encouragement, everyone. It makes sense that fellow homeschooling moms would understand what a big moment it is to just decide! I'm tired of searching... it's great to be "home" here with HOD!

OOOH! I am so happy for you....I am still in the search mode and have been praying for such a moment. So yes, Its a big deal. Congratulations!!! May your time and experience with HOD be a blessed one.

I honestly understand how you feel. It's been one year and two months since I found HOD and I have not had any desire to look for anything else. It is such a wonderful feeling! I, too, have plans to stay with HOD as long as possible. I'm going to convention next month and it will be the second year that I can actually enjoy workshops and not feel pressured to look at curriculum. I can't even force myself to think about considering something else. HOD is IT for as long as God allows.

You will not regret your decision

Awesome! What wonderful peace you will have now!

Yeah!!!

Sounds great!!
And, we are planning to join you, as we're starting 9th grade next year and continuing HOD all the way through!! (I already ordered and have RTR and Rev2Rev here for the next 2 years!)

It IS a big deal, and I can completely relate. How many YEARS did I spend searching for the next new and better thing? My son is completing CtoC this year, I think this is the first year we will have completed a curriculum! And I am not even considering anything else for him. RtoR is purchased, on the shelf, and I am not tweaking anything...what peace and rest I have found, finally.
I haven't figured it all out for my daughter yet, but I plan to use Preparing and have that ready, too!
Congratulations....though we all know each of us really got to the place of decision through the Lord's doing! Thanks be to God! Glorify Him!
