Our New Homeschool Name

Today as a family we decided on the name "The Liahona Center of Excellence". We have been homeschooling now for two years. Most of the time we seem to be moving and unpacking. We already know we are retiring from the Navy in January 2012 and will have yet another move. Scott is still in the deciding mode of what he ultimately would like to become. He already has the knowledge of a Physicians Assistant. Unfortunately in the civilian world it amounts to nothing! He must first spend two years in college to obtain a master's degree and certification to practice in the outside world. Poverty will strike for two years and with three girls and all need braces, this will be trying at times. We will also need to downsize to a smaller place. Base housing is an option in this area. It is not the new housing we have now, but it would be decent for a couple of years. We will all be in school. It will be nice to get to see my husband in a different light. I have only known him as the Navy man. It is exciting and a little unnerving. What I do know is that we are going to stock up on many household goods and try to live off of food storage for two years. I hope to make very few trips to the grocery store. We are also going to get rid of the satelite. We can rent DVD's through Netflicks and can enjoy many educational movies when there is some extra time. I have already gotten rid of the cell phone. I don't like to use it while driving and find great annoyance at people who do. :) The only time we ever REALLY need one is while we travel to the West. Not to mention the brain tumors developing in greater numbers with people who use cell phones. When we need one for road trips we can get a prepaid. I should be taking pictures of our new schoolroom by weeks end. As we have found things (books, supplies, etc.) our little classroom looks more and more like a fun happy place to be.
