Back to decided..

yep yep yep.. we are going to.... Okalahoma State.. We have decided that would be the best place for us so we are going. Ty and I are going to fly out and look for houses sometime in the next month with Cameron and leave Kevin with Uncle Ken... It will be the first time I have every spent the night away from Kevin since he has been born, I'm sure I will have bigger issues then he will, He love spending time with Uncle Ken. And Uncle Ken jumped at the chance to do it, he is even willing to take a day off to watch my little boy! You think I should tell him that Kevin should be potty trained by the time I get home? :) I'm excited, things really seem to be falling into place. No bites on the house yet, plenty of people like it but say they have to sell their house first or they just started looking so they will let us know... come on just by it! We just dropped the price $5,000 so we shoudl be getting more people throught now that is it in the $170's instead of the $ 180's.
As for life around here, it is a little strained.. Cameron won't let me put him down, he is running a fever and doesn't want to do anything but Cuddle, which yes, is one of the best things about being a Mom but really sometimes you need to go to the restroom!
My new project is helping plan the ward preparedness fair for the 22nd and also putting on another "canning day in the gym" on the 31st! With all the stimulus plan money coming in this month we hope that we will have a good turn out and that families in the ward will make food storage a priority. I don't think we will have another 4000 lbs but who knows...exciting exciting! So for all of you in the ward, get your orders in soon!
Thats all for now, I must go give Cameron some attention...

Back to Undecided

So we are undecided as to where we are going to school, (I know I changed the backgorund dressed the family up in OSU gear and everything!) but somthings changed at the deal to OSU so Utah state is looking a little tastier, We are kinda at an impass, until we get the official letters with everything in writing we can't really put a finger on the map and say THERE!
But we did have a great trip this weekend, Madison was blessed on Tylers side of the famiy and we were were able to travel for her baby blessing! It was great to see all that family and I think it made Tylers decision even hearder knowing that Logan would only be and a little more than an hour from all of them if we went to Utah. It would be great to be that close! Who knows what is going to happen?!?

And in honor of...

In honor of Tyler making a decision I have changed my background to Orange for OSU. That is right, as soon as Tyler gets this letter from them with all the details... as long as it says what we think it is going to say, we are headed to Ok State. That is right my husband is going to be a Cowboy... Pistol Pete baby! So John when you read this, where's that letter? Now we just need to find a place to live with a Storm shelter, Tornado alley here we come! Oh and I thought this was cool!



(maybe I should call this blog, Confessions of a Marketing Junkie)

Which one, Which one?

Ok so both schools have given us amazing packages... now we need to choose!!!.. Which one which one..(Quote from Emperors New Grove) Packages from either may include:

-Free tuition

-Full time teaching position

-Health insurance

-Scholarships

So Tyler, Where are we going?

I'm going to take a vote.. leave a comment and let Tyler know which one!..

He got in...

So I ran to check the mail this morning.... and no the official you got in letter from USU still isn't here... but the BYU one came! He got accepted to all of the schools he applied to! Woohoo! He still can't decide where to go... Honestly I have no idea where we will be going. Somedays it soundsl ike we are headed to Oklahoma and then the next day it sounds like Utah State I wonder if this letter from BYU will change anything. Well I best get going, The boys are being to quiet for anything good to be happening.

He got in!

Tyler got notified by email today that his acceptance letter to Utah State is in the mail.... Party! We went and got Dairy Queen to celebrate. (in this family we celebrate with food) Now we are just waiting to hear from BYU... Now he actually has to make a decision...hmmmmm.

Drum roll please....

***note: this does not mean we are going to Ok State, it means he was accepted.. We are still waiting to hear from the other two universities**

So Tyler called me from 1st hour this morning.. whispering... it was all very covert.. and he said "3 for O against"... “huh?” once he explained it to me I screamed "woohoo!" are you interested yet? He explained... John from OSU called. They had their formal meeting and voted 3 for admitting Tyler O against it. It is semi official (Tyler says he still wants to see it in writing)… Tyler is accepted into OSU! "WooHoo!" I would say I should take him to dinner tonight but he usually says lets order pizza… So I think pizza is in order!

Grad school!

Well it is offficial (has been since the 1st, I just forgot to blog about it) Tyler has officially applied to all three of his top grad schools, they recieved everything, and the deadlines have passed. We are just waiting to hear back. They all say the committee will be getting together around the 20th and then it will take a couple of the weeks for the paper work to work its way to us. So we just get to keep checking the mail. We have also applied for FAFSA to see which school will give us the best deal, maybe assistantships will be the way to go. Tyler working at the university while he get his degree would look good on his resume after graduation. Its very exciting! We also decited to put the house up for sale middle of February beggining of March. The realtor says houses are still selling it just is taking 3-5 months instead of 2. So if we would like to sell before classes start in August then we better get it on the market. If anybody knows anyone moving to Jerome wanting a 4 bedroom 2 bath house let us know, its got a dog run, great garden and very neutral colors!.. lol Well we best get going. The kids are in a good mood so I should be folding clothes!
