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.

Congrats, Brado! Glad the interview went so well.
Diedre, that is so funny about the mouse. I would probably start bawling too. How freaky!
So, you really are pregnant?! When are you due? I need to know, since if the pattern continues, I will be delivering my baby approximately 6 months after yours! :)
Miss you guys.

and i HATE mice too!!!! we caught one at my parents house and it was just me and my mom and emma there and we had to figure out what to do with it... i think we stuck it in a box until logan and my dad got home and took care of it :)
Diedre! Congratulations on Houston! That has got to be such a sigh of relief! AND YOUR'RE PREGNANT! Wow! That is so exciting! I'm glad that you got the whole mouse thing worked out. I would have reacted the same way. :)
