DH and I both met with student advisers from Oregon State University and they looked at our transcripts and said that with our 4.0 GPAs we're almost guaranteed to get accepted. So now all we have to do is formally apply and wait for our acceptance letter. I will be SO happy to get out of this town. I mean, I love everything that I've learned and I'll miss my friends but there are no job opportunities here and the community college is a joke. I can't wait to move because we'll be closer to a big city (shopping!!!!) and closer to a major airport which means I can fly home to visit my parents much, much cheaper than I can now.

Anyway, I'm just excited and bursting to tell someone so I'm telling you all. lol
I live right outside of Corvallis and our son goes to OSU.So if you need any info. I would be happy to supply. Cindy

Won't you miss Tater Patch Quilts in Merrill. It is one of the best quilt stores I have seen.

But I do understand about K Falls. Not much going on there. Good luck at OSU.

I will miss it but apparently Corvallis has three quilt stores and since we'd be so close to the coast I'm sure I could find some more over there. Hooray, more excuses to go fabric shopping. lol

Thank you for all the congratulations. I am jumping up and down inside and it's killing me that we can't tell anyone yet. We're submitting our applications in January and the school said we'd hear back from them in February so I have to keep quiet for almost 3 months!
