Woohoo..it's been a bit of a roller coaster. Nate got everything turned in last November, but we got a call on February 9th informing us that the fee was not received and applications had now closed (Nate needed me to use my debit card online, but as I was sick November/December it had slipped my mind). The deadline for priority applications was December 1st, and the deadline for regular applications was February 1st.
Now it was February 9th.
Nate was so forgiving, saying there must be a reason...but I felt just awful about it. I had really let him down. We hurried and paid online and prayed...but things did not look good. We were advised not to get our hopes up so we started to explore other options...
Well, long story short, it's about a week later and Nate checked online last night and there it was! His acceptance letter saying that he was admitted to BYU Provo for the Fall 2009 semester.
We are so happy, and so grateful. We had angels working on our behalf I am sure!! Nate is now a Cougar. GO COUGARS!
(The above photo is how it all started. Nate attended the BYU Soar program summer of 2008. This photo was taken outside the Salt Lake Temple. Nate is third from the left).
Ha- I know the photo is annoyingly small. I can't figure out how to expand it. Sorry.

ReplyDeleteWow, how is it possible for Nate to be old enough to go to college? I still picture him as a 5 year old singing "shoo fly don't bother me". :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! How wonderful, what a blessing to be able to attend the University of the Lord! Your grand parents are smiling! Grandma Oler is singing the Cougar song! "Rise and Shine the cougars are out! DA DA DA DA!" She would sing that to us to wake us up in the morning!
