Approaching the Finish Line!!!!!

I can hardly believe that I am typing this, I thought the day would never come when I could say, we have booked our one way tickets home!!!! The movers have been scheduled, our dogs have their tickets as well and we will be sleeping in our Colorado home the night of June 1st!!!!!

I am filled with so much joy and excitement I can barely contain myself. Our hard, long work that we came here to do is over and we will walk away victorious!

Somebody pinch me....are we honestly going home for good....completely 100% allergy free?

What to do with all this happiness? Share it, of course, with all of my loved ones. I apologize in advance for the constant smile you will see on my face and the stories of how Hayden can eat ANYTHING, but like I said I cannot contain myself!

Our healer will be interviewing myself & Hayden for a future article that she hopes to publish in a mainstream magazine in an effort to give hope to others. Why interview us? After all she has healed hundreds of people.

We were the fastest family to ever complete the program...I have never been more proud. This could never have happened if it were not for my most wonderfully courageous boy, Hayden. He was fearless, an absolute rockstar every step of the way & he trusted me through it all. I have always adored this boy, but never have I been so proud of him. This will serve as a life long reminder that he can accomplish anything with hard work & perseverance. I imagine he will reflect on this his entire life and draw strength from it.

And as for homeschooling....we are in heaven....loving every second of it....best decision....too bad I did not make it sooner.

I intend to reenroll my kiddos back at their old school, which is a dream come true, but if ever there were a time where school caused more harm than good, I would do exactly what I did here....I will not turn the other cheek.

After pulling my kids out a few weeks ago I questioned why I expect so much from a school. Then it dawned on me.... I expect a lot of not only schools, people and life, but also of myself. I do not settle for less for myself OR from myself.
