This week's Blog Hop theme is "3 Things you Didn't Know About Me." Since I have readers who know me pretty well they may know these things, but those of you who don't know me well, will probably learn something new!
- I met my husband after a year of one of my best friends trying to introduce us (I refused, cuz I was independent and didn't want to meet a new guy). We were engaged 6 weeks later, and married 11 months from the day we met! It is the best quick decision I have ever made!!!

- When I was 9 1/2 weeks pregnant with Pac Man, I had what seemed like a miscarriage, even the doctors thought I had a miscarriage. We did the ultrasound just to see what was left. Our mouths all dropped when we saw his beating heart!!! It was one of the best moments of my life, I will never forget it. In the end, they thought I may have miscarried an undeveloped twin.
- When I first started to homeschool Pac Man, it was out of necessity (the schools are horrible where we serve as missionaries), and it was a struggle for me. I constantly thought how much easier my days would be if I could send him to school. I knew God had called us to homeschooling (for various reasons), but I was resisting it in my selfishness. Many now would find it hard to believe how much I resisted my calling to homeschool, as I have embraced it to the fullest now. Homeschooling is just another example of the fact that God's plan is always better than mine!!!

Doing the blog hop and HAD to stop and say hello! What a cute blog you have and adorable family. I'm Alicia from S.C, Nice to meet you. :)
love your wedding pic! it sounds like you guys are meant to be together. and i totally got the goosebumps when you shared your story about your pregnancy- what a miracle to have your son (despite the fact that there is a possible loss with a miscarriage- those can be devastating)
and i can say for EVERYBODY else that we are sure glad you decided to homeschool! there would be a giant hole in the online homeschool world without you!
TOO FUNNY!!! The story of you and your husband getting together is so much like the story of me and my husband!!
We were set up on a blind date in November 1999...he proposed a short 2 months later in January 2000 and were married July 1, 2000 - not quite 8 months after we first met!! Like you it was the best fast decision I ever made :-)
cute wedding picture!!
Loved your pictures! My husband and I also met on a blind date and were engaged quickly and married 6 months later! Who knew!?! I also was very hesitant in homeschooling at first too. Now I can not imagine my life any differently and cherish those days with my girls. Thanks for your post. It was just great getting to know you more. Until the next hop....
Grins!
Look at your husband's hair!!!! :) What a difference!

Hey Mrs Carisa...
You need to create a Facebook "fan" page for tot school so that those of us on Facebook that do or will be doing tot school can "become a fan" of tot school. :p
Wow, that must have been a very scary experience for you with your baby:( Glad everything worked out, what a great gift :)
I have to say - it's fun seeing your hubby with short hair. :)
