Another Semester

Well, I'm down to finals week and am I ever ready to see Friday!  I would have to say this has been the most challenging semester yet.  But the good news is I will have completed my gen. eds. and I have been accepted to HSC for their Nutritional Science program.  I am so excited to finally get to this point.  Believe it or not, in a few short weeks all of my children will have graduated high school!!!  So proud of each one of them!  So needless to say as soon as I bubble in the last multiple choice question and answer the last critical thinking short answer question I will be addressing Abbie's announcements.  I know she is ready for this to be over, as she has also been taking classes on campus this year.  Now if I can just get her to fill out her housing form.  Well, I will post again next weekend on the other side.  Who knew going to college in your 40's could be so much work :o)

The End is Coming....

I will probably not be blogging for a long while after next week. I am starting classes at OU on the 19th and will be quite busy with the 13 hours I will be taking. I haven't studied in 26 years!!! Please pray for me & my family. I am excited and nervous. This week I am cooking food to freeze for nights when I'm either too busy or tired to cook. (every night :o) ) Next week is clean, iron & organize. Well back to cooking.

College Auditions Finished, Now the Waiting Game

Riley is finished with College Auditions!!! Now is the waiting game. I got to go with him yesterday for his Musical Theater audition. The school we were at has a very concentrated group. They have a total of 50 students, freshmen thru seniors, in the entire program. They are ranked in the top 5 in the country. This year they will be admitting 12 new students for fall. Six girls and Six guys. Wow!!! We had a great time and Riley actually had one of his good friends auditioning also. I will let you know the outcome of these 3 auditions.

2 Down 1 To Go

Well, Saturday and Sunday's auditions went well and Riley and Terry were impressed with one of the school's drama department. They didn't actually go to the other school, as it was an off campus audition, so we don't have a lot of info on the school other than what we have read online. Friday is the last audition and I will be attending this time since it is a workday. I have to admit, I am a bit excited about going. I get that way when my kids are doing something new for their future. I was the same way when we were getting Travis off to college. I think I enjoyed the whole process more than he did. Pray that Riley stays healthy as there is singing involved in this one. This one is for a musical theater department. I'm torn as to which I would rather him do. Either way I will still get to see him perform and that makes it all worth it.

Waiting game....

College applications are now in. We have audition forms to get in but that is small potatoes. Now we play the waiting game. I don't know if Riley is as excited about this as I am. To me it's like waiting to open Christmas presents when you were a kid. My prayer is that God will open the door that he wants Riley to go through and prepare us all for what lies ahead.
