I've FINALLY decided!

Post by Mrs. Lilac » Thu May 07, 2009 6:36 pm

After lots of agonizing and posting here and other forums, I'm officially on board the Heart of Dakota ship for this coming school year! :) I'm planning to do Beyond with my daughter (almost age 6, will be in 1st grade.) I'm so excited- as I've lived with this decision for the last week or so, I feel better about it all the time.....more reasons keep coming to mind about why this is going to be such a great choice for our family.

Thank you so much to all of you who weighed in with advice and questions and support! Looking forward to being here with you all on a permanent basis now!

Welcome! I'm also going to be using Beyond, with a 1st grader and 2nd grader. We are starting our new school year in a few weeks and I can't wait!

Oh, I am so excited for you to receive Beyond, Mrs. Lilac! :D I've boarded the HOD ship and doing Beyond right along with you - I will be a lifelong passenger on this ship. :D You and your dd are going to have such fun with Beyond. My ds and I are halfway through it, and each day brings new learning and happy homeschooling days to our home. Be sure to share your box day here! :D

Mrs. Lilac,

I'm excited for you that you've come to a decision and that you're feeling peaceful with your choice. The Lord is so good at flooding us with peace when we need it, isn't He! :D I'm sure my hubby and boys are busily packing your order already. :wink:

We pray that HOD may be a blessing for your family. We'll be doing Beyond this year with my third little guy right along with you this year. :D

Blessings,
Carrie

Congrats on your decision! We will be finishing up LHFHG in a couple of weeks and then will be embarking on our Beyond trip, too. I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes for you.

You are going to love Beyond! I'm in week 25 and still feel as though I made an awesome choice. I love that I'm "freed up" to look for the extra goodies like composer and art study, nature study and drawing lessons, etc because there is actually time to do those things. I love to hear that someone has agonized over the decision and has decided on HOD because I know they will be blessed by it. I agonized too and am so glad I went this direction. Enjoy!
