Erick got a $6000 scholarship Friday! This is such a blessing.
His financial aid got all messed up and he ended up having to take out a last
minute student loan to start the semester. We had worked so hard to get out of
debt and it was diappointing to have more debt, even though this debt won't have
any interest. We still had the other student loan we took out back when Rachel
was born, too. This will take care of that debt.
It's hard to believe that
after this semester is over, he's only got a year to go. I'm starting to get
excited. I can't wait until he's done with school! We are really hoping he can
get a postition closer to family. We're going to start working on the house this
summer to get it ready to sell. It needs some paint, new carpet in the living
room, the deck needs to be sealed, the front could use some landscaping, and
there's a few minor things here and there like some trim to replace. We'll
probably also put down new linoleoum in the bathrooms and do something to the
stairway to replace the worn carpet. Maybe we'll put hardwood down with a runner
down the middle. I'd also like to put aluminum columns on the front porch
instead of the painted wood square ones.
