There's good news to report on the college scene!
Rough week with big choices to make but life is good again! She'll be going to Grandview University, about 2.5 hours away. They have a fabulous graphic design program and she is delighted. We were really wowed by it all when we visited earlier in the week. She's also very excited about their cross co. team. A great, strong and successful program. Even has a couple friends going there too. So yay!
A big thank you to everyone for the positive thoughts, advice, well wishes and prayers. Such a supportive online community we have!
P.S. I'm sitting here typing with a certain little something sleeping on my arm.
She doesn't mind the typing or clicking noises of the computer keys at all. Sorta funny! Have a great weekend!
Oh, that's so great! Congrats, Allie! Okay, that pup pic is making me want one! E's digging her, too!

Very good news indeed! Isn't it just so great when are kids are happy? And even better when they face adversity and come through it so well? I am so happy for your daughter that she can continue her studies in a place she is thrilled about!
