Sing Hallelujah!

Hallelujah!! Finally, after a long await........... Andrew is accepted into the nursing program at West Texas A & M University in Canyon, TX!!! He had been on the wait list and it was starting to not look good that he would get in this sememster, but we just found out the other day that he was! It's about time we see a little light at the end of a long, long, long tunnel.

So what does this mean? All of our belongings are currently being held in 2 storage units and in our 2 cars in Borger, TX. Borger is 45 miles NE from Amarillo. When we get back to TX on Aug. 5th we will be getting it all out and moving to Canyon. Canyon is about 60 miles from Borger and about 15 miles south of Amarillo. And is much prettier than Borger. Well pretty much anything is prettier than Borger!!

He has about 6 sememsters before he will graduate with his BSN. So if all goes well and the school continues to get funding for summer classes then he will be done in 2years! Of course we will not be done after that but we are so happy and feel like we are getting somewhere!

Other than that we are still in Tennessee having a great time. I still haven't been able to get the pics to load on my blog though. Raegen is finally off of the Binki!! Yay! Andrew is working hard with a Pest control company. It is long hours and he has to wear long pants and a long sleeve shirt in the heat and humidity, but he is a trooper and we are so grateful for the job opportunity. Everyone has been so nice here!

Also, I'd like to give a shout out to Lacee and Luke, friends back in Borger who have been babysitting Torty Mctort Tort or just Torty our Box Turtle while we are gone! And have been taking care of our mail for us. Thanks a bunch!

And I would imagine Andrew comes home drenched in his own sweat. Just give him a side of ribs...same effect. Love you! Can't wait to see you in a week and a half!

To say the least! He wears a terry head band to keep the sweat from dripping in his eyes and this guy that he works with mentioned that it looked like it was working and Andrew took it off and rung it out!

We are excited to see you too!

Poor Andrew and poor terry head band. The heat must be a killer out there for him!

OH YEAH! I am so glad to hear that Andrew finally got in. I am also glad to hear that you aren't going to be coming back until the 5th of August since I will actually be in the area at that time! We miss you all and Hunter is missing Raegan, so hopefully we will be able to see you during your busy transition from being nomads to planted in one place (at least for 2 years!)
