Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Hi everyone,

I have been reading posts from the forum for awhile now and joined a bit ago but this is the first time to post. Thanks so much to Janette for all her help in getting me re-registered.

My husband and I have been married for 23 years. I have 4 children ages 27, 25, 21 and 16. All of the children have homeschooled at some point. My youngest, a junior, is dual-enrolled, homeschooling part time and going to our local high school part time.

We have just recently made a huge change. My youngest son and I moved to Pella,IA from Las Vegas,NV after my husband was laid off. He is currently working and living in California and yes that has been hard and an adjustment. My two oldest children are on their own in different states now and my 21 yod is a junior at the University of Nevada Reno. It is the first time we have all been scattered and this momma is missing everyone terribly.

I am looking forward to getting to know everyone here and joining in the wonderful conversations.

Welcome! I feel confident you'll find a lot of support and encouragement here, and I for one am looking forward to learning more about the care and feeding of college students, both at home and away, from you!
