It Keeps Getting Better

We have had some amazing things happen this week.  None of them involve the weather, and sadly not the BYU Cougar basketball team either.  But in our family's little world, they are pretty dang amazing.

Last night was The Boy's board of review, the final step for his Eagle rank in scouting.  He passed and with flying colors.  Today he is an official Eagle! 

(Now, if everyone will just pray that his formal notification from the National BSA will arrive in time that we can go forward with the planned Eagle Court of Honor on May 1st while my family is here; I'd appreciate that a lot.  Thanks.)

Then, as you have heard, The Girl found out a week ago that she won the Energy Solutions scholarship for her high school, worth $2000 for college.  This week, she discovered that the university where she wants to attend has a program that will MATCH that scholarship with on e of their own, so her $2000 can potentially be worth $4000 is she keeps up her grades and is accepted at Utah State University in the fall of 2013. 

This tidbit was thrilling!  To know that her first year of school could already be paid for with scholarships and the money she has earned last summer, along with what she thinks she will earn this summer working at the pool.  Awesome!

Now if the Cougars had just beaten Florida last night, it would be a trifecta.  But overtime in the Sweet 16 isn't too shabby.  Plus, Jimmermania has been a great ride.    But I guess we can't have it all.  I sure do like what I have at the moment though.  What great kids!  I love them!!
