You'd think from the number and content of the posts on this blog that we've all been sitting around watching my hair fall out all winter. I don't know what it is about chemo but my brain goes kind of foggy and all ingenuity ceases. We have had lots of good things happening which I will attempt to chronicle over the next few days.
First of all, as everyone knows, senior year is plagued by the pesky college applications. Summer spent most of Thanksgiving and all of Christmas break writing essays, filling out college apps and applying for scholarships. Now the waiting period is over and the results are in... (I need to take a moment here to explain that although Summer would have loved to go to an Ivy League school, it was never, financially, an option--especially with our medical bills mounting. Still, she's very optimistic and wanted to give it a try.) These were her choices:
Brown (her all time favorite adorable university), University of Virginia, BYU-Provo, Cornell, Penn State and BYU-I. She was accepted at all but Brown and UVa and will be heading off to her parents' alma mater in August where she will join her two siblings for the first time since kindergarten. I almost wish I could be there, too!
Another VERY EXCITING event in our family is that our smart and beautiful daughter, Maggie, will be graduating this month with her Bachelor's in Psychology.
We're so proud of her and are still a little stunned that she chose our family to be a part of for eternity. Alex, you are SOOOO lucky! Congratulations, Maggie!
