Home School Book Fair, Here I Come
Today I’m attending the Home School Book Fair in Arlington, Texas, because there is something I like more than drooling over books and curriculum.
I don’t need a single thing. In fact, as hard as it is to believe, I’m satiated with book consumption right now. I considered staying home, but the homeschool community tugs.
When I started blogging, it was an act of obedience. I needed to think through ideas. I wanted to practice writing. I never imagined gaining friends on the other side of the computer. Friends who bless with encouragement. Friends who share joys and trials. Friends who remind me to grow. Friends who challenge my thinking.
Friends I’ll be talking to face to face!

If you haven’t attended a homeschool convention, Beth wrote a helpful article: Ten Timeless Tips for Tackling a Homeschool Convention. And if you happen to be at the convention in Arlington, please greet me. I would be honored to meet you.
Have a wonderful time. I totally get what you are saying and feel guilty for not going to our convention, although money reasons were the number one factor.

Have fun Renae! I hope you get to meet up with lots of bloggy friends! ( :
Thanks for the great links as well – great posts!
I cannot resist a homeschool convention either.
Enjoy!
Have a great time! Homeschool Conventions are fun, but I agree that homeschool friends are even better. :) Enjoy!
It was SO much fun meeting you at the book fair! I’m sorry we didn’t get to chat longer…I’ll just have to look you up the next time I’m down that way. I believe that with a few chips, a couple bowls of queso and some time, we could bond in a serious way.
Be blessed!
It was so good to meet you, Renae! I definitely think sitting down in front of some food is in order next time.
