Hi,

I am Jen and have a ds(10). We've been homeschooling since Kinder. We live about an hour north of Dallas in Frisco. Really new to the forum and posting. I've been reading for a couple of months, but just registered today.

I'm new to this group too, I'm in Grand Prairie and have a daughter - Ariana who's 9. We've been homeschooling since 2nd grade. :-) Good to see where everyone is from!

We are moving to Fort Worth in 2 weeks.

Anyone familiar with Westside Association of Christian Home Educators?

How about SouthCliff Baptist Church?

If you do, can you PM me with what you like or dislike about them?

No WAY! That's my hometown! Small world, isn't it?

We're near Lake Conroe now.

DFW area here!
I'm actually in a little town called Red Oak, just south of Dallas in Ellis County. We have an acre and a half w/ lotsa trees and an AWESOME creek that is perfect for 4 boys and my princess :-)

I grew up in San Antonio and wish i was still there [hi Pammy!]. The DFW area is colder than i remember SA being!! *sniff* But I am a lizard and love the heat. Anything under 80* is c-c-c-cold!

I started a secular yahoogroup for homeschoolers in our area, so if you know anyone in Ellis County that needs something like that, send them my way!

I can't wait for the homeschool conventions-- I know I'll be at the one in Arlington on that Friday and the Scout Show that saturday. I'm planning on attending the FEAST convention in San Antonio, and hoping to press my luck and hit the one in Austin too.

We'll hafta arrange another DFW get together at the HER store --I've met quite a few WTMoms irl that way.

If you're ever out this-a-way drop by and we'll go find some fossils in my creek :-)

see ya!
