the academy

It was a very exciting day Thursday. Cyndi went to the mailbox and found the letter from the Academy. She called me right away. She was so excited. Jackson was accepted. And the extra surprising news was the amount of financial aid they awarded. It makes it very doable for him to go. There really is no question about it.

When school was out, Cyndi put me on the speaker on her cell phone so she could tell Jackson. He squealed with delight. I emailed Ariel with the news and included Rylee in our celebration, so he knows that his time, just like Ariel's and Jackson's, will come, too.

All in all, a pretty exciting week. I'm also very excited about the boys' scrimmages this weekend. The following weekend there'll be opening games on Saturday and a ceremony for new admittees on Sunday.
