Well... the bribe we made her when she was little has paid off. We told all our kids if they graduate with a 4.0 and don't get into any trouble we would buy them a car. We did this hoping we wouldn't have to be paying for college. Well, we bought the car in December and have just been praying for the scholarships to come. Well, she got word today that she has recieved a full tuition scholarship to NKU. This is where she has been planning on going. We are thrilled. Her money she automatically gets from the state for having all A's and a high ACT will pay for her room all four years. Now we just have her books and meals to pay for. She is working on several other scholarships and we will keep hoping on those and we may get off pretty light here. We are thrilled. LIfe is good!!!
(Too bad she is under the weather with a fever and nausea .... she is having a hard time getting excited ... and she has been checking the mail everyday for this!!)
Oh ... and I lost 2.4 more pounds today. I have lost a total of 21 pounds. So far I am still the biggerst loser. I have 2 more weeks to go to collect the money!! Keep your fingers crossed, I want to go shopping!!
