End of an era

Unbelievably, the boys and I attended our last class day of CC yesterday. (Ruth will complete her semester next Tuesday.) CC has been such a huge part of our lives for the last five years, and it is truly hard to believe that we have come to the end of that era, for now. I didn't have a clue what we were getting in to when we first signed up all those years ago. I just knew that I needed to not feel alone on my homeschooling journey. And that was certainly one of the big things CC offered. But, it has been so much more than that. We have been challenged academically, encouraged personally, nourished spiritually and fulfilled in more ways than we can count. We have made friends that feel like family, and we have pushed ourselves to do things we didn't know we could do. We could not be more thankful for the opportunity to have been a part of something so special. We will miss the program and people tremendously, but we will carry our experiences from this chapter of our lives into the next and will undoubtedly be better for it.
