AJ was never the most astute student in high school, not because of lack of intelligence but mainly out of desire and support.
Because of this, he was really nervous about applying to Idaho State University. Those of you familiar with the University know that the admissions aren't super strict but I know people who were turned away, so that means they do screen the applicants.
Two weeks ago AJ sent in the required information with the $40 application fee and waited.
He got the news yesterday: Admitted to Idaho State Universities undergraduate program in the College of Health & Sciences for nursing.
I am so excited. He is thrilled. The past that he comes from and the life that he's had, to get that "admission" is a huge deal and I couldn't be more proud. Beaming, he called family members last night and told them the news. All night he kept saying, "I'm going to be a college student babe! Just a regular college guy." He was grinning from ear to ear.
He doesn't start until the Fall of 2012 and we still have about 5 months left before we are even out of the military, but the pieces of the puzzle are getting in place. AJ even re-registered his car recently- he has gone from Texas to Idaho tags.
I'm glad that we are starting the process so early and slowly getting things done little by little. It's a crazy transition and I think time for things to sink in is necessary. But it's happening. We are getting out. We are moving to Idaho. AJ is going to college. My business is getting started. It's incredible.
