We went to Veritas on two separate occasions today to become more familiar with the routine, attend a parent orientation, and to meet our new Kindergarten teacher! Her name is Tonya Foulkrod and she has 4 girls who all attend Veritas.
When we walked in to meet her this afternoon, the first thing she said to Alivia was "I have been praying for you Alivia!" I was so touched I almost started crying. It was just another reassurance that we were in the right place.
Matt and I went to a Parent Orientation this evening while Alivia had another chance to meet some of her classmates and become familiar with the classroom. When we picked her up she seemed thrilled, gave Mrs. Foulkrod a big hug and in the car said "I can't wait to go back."
I know Veritas is different. I know it will be hard. I know it is counter-cultural and seems really really weird. But we feel called to be there and despite all of the inconveniences it poses (distance, unusual schedule, homeschooling) I feel good about our decision and am excited to see where God takes our journey this year.
Here's to you, Alivia. My KINDERGARTENER! Yahooo! Here we go!!!
