This weeks adventures!

Brandon had his interview at Houston university and it went GREAT!! After the interview the dean of the school (optometry program) asked Brandon to meet with him in his office. The dean then told Brandon that he was going to give him an offer he couldn't refuse! He accepted him on the spot and said that if he comes to Houston then he will give him in state tuition (out of state tuition is $30,000, in state tuition is $18,000) and two scholarships adding up to $3,000 a year. so instead of us paying $30,000 a year we would end up only paying $15,000 I can't believe it it's so AMAZING!! So because of the offer we are thinking a little differently. Houston is now one of our top choices. We are so excited. But we will see after Brandon gets back from his interview in Memphis we seem to be changing our minds a LOT lately. It's been a BIG relief to know that he is already accepted to a school though I don't feel like we are as stressed out as we have been. I am so proud of Brandon and all that he has accomplished. He works so hard and all that hard work is paying off!! Way to go hun I love you.

Another exciting adventure happened to me while Brandon has been gone. Saturday morning we woke up had breakfast and then started to watch Baby signing time, this video has been Krew's favorite lately, we watch it probably 5 times a day it's the first thing he asks for when he wakes up, well that and a banana. he turns to me and signs baby and then nods his head yes trying to encourage me to say yes then goes to the t.v and turns it on then repeats the signing baby and nodding his head yes, It's really cute and I'm glad that he's starting to be able to communicate with me what he wants, but 5 times a day is quite a lot. Sorry got a little side tracked back to my story. While we were watching baby signing time I started to hear some rustling in the blinds, at first I just thought I was hearing things but it kept happening so I looked in the blinds and there was a mouse (it was stuck in a sticky trap so really all I saw was it's tail wiggling) I never knew that I was afraid of mice until that day. I FREAKED out I called Brandon bawling becuase I didn't know what to do. If he were here he would have just taken care of it and I wouldn't have to worry about it. He told me to get some tongs and a trash bag and just put him in the bag. Yeah right I couldn't even get close to it, so the other option was to go to my neigbors (8:00 in the morning on a saturday) and ask him to remove the rodent for me. I ran upstairs still shaking and asked my neigbor and of course he was willing to help. He romoved it!! Oh I was so grateful I still am thank you Jason I really appreciate it!! anyway, it's gone now but I'm still a little freaked out that I'm going to wake up to another mouse, but very glad this one is gone.

Another interview

Brandon got another interview!! We are so excited, this interview is in Memphis which is one of our top choices so we are ecstatic!! We spent a lot of the day yesterday trying to figure out flights and a rental car end everything. He scheduled his interview for Mon September 28th. So these next couple of weeks are going to be CRAZY. This is our schedule for the next couple of weeks.
Brandon flies out tomorrow for his first interview (keep in mind that we have to drive 3-4 hours just to get to an airport from Rexburg) in Huston and then is flying from Huston to Illinois to go visit his grandma and wont be back till Tuesday the 22nd. Then Friday 25th I fly out to go visit my sister in New Mexico. Sunday 27th Brandon flies out to Tennessee flies back Monday at midnight (so I guess more like Tuesday) And still has to make his Tuesday classes which start at 9 am. I don't come back until Oct. 9th. Which is probably a good thing so that Brandon can concentrate on his homework from the classes that he has missed. It's going to be hard to be away from him for that long but we are excited and feel very blessed to have these interviews. I am so proud of Brandon and all that he has acomplished!! I know they are just going to love him. Who doesn't? He's pretty much the most AWESOME person in the world!! I love you babe!! GOOD LUCK!!!
