.......he is going to TAC!!!

Today we were gifted with the news of my oldest son's acceptance to Thomas Aquinas College!

THIS is the Fall Project I had all of you praying for.....I had to be discreet because it wasn't MY thing.

Writing seven essays in English when you were thinking in German......was quite a challenge!

The "project" was him writing and me proofreading, editing & encouraging.

It was so sweet......afterward, he said......he felt like we were "closer" because of it..........and all of this done on Skype


I told Willa I felt like she and I were now "in-laws" as she has one graduate and one freshman....and now I will, too.   


Thanks for your prayers! We SO appreciate them!
