Now that Kelly and Julia have joined the forum, I thought it was time we introduced ourselves a little. I know Julia, and Kelly knows Julia, but Kami doesn't know Julia, and neither Kami nor I know Kelly, and so forth and so on.
So, my intro. Hi. My name is Andrea Young, I live in Utah, I have three kids. Miriam is 4 and is somewhat . . . difficult. But charming. And loving. And I adore her. Cowen just turned 3 and still doesn't talk. Although he learned to say "yeah" just yesterday and that has already made my life much easier. Emeline is 19 months and wonderfully sweet. I am a stay-at-home mom who also teaches online on the side. Also, I am going to start homeschooling this year so that is my new big adventure. I have been married six years and I come from a big, crazy family and hope to create a big, crazy family. My fav things to do are: write YA fantasy, read, read, read, and read, sing, and cook. I also like to plan curriculum, which is a bonus when you want to homeschool.
And I just wanted to point out, for Julia's sake, that I plan to adopt the TJEd methodology pretty much completely. I may have criticized the author for several flaws, but his basic tenets are pretty much perfectly aligned with what I believe, and when I read the book I thought--this is exactly how I want to structure my homeschool. So--I am definitely coming from a TJEd philosophy when I talk about homeschooling.
That's about it. I have red hair. Just so you know. And your brother Nathan really helped me out in freshman science at BYU. He was the man.
