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
Christina That sound like great news, so happy for you!!

Thank you everyone! We're going to make our first scouting trip in April to see if we can find some housing. We just want to rent while we're in school. As soon as we both find stable work after we graduate then we'll start looking into buying a home. DH said he's going to send in his application for admission in January and the adviser told him we'd hear back in February if he got accepted. he's also going to try for some scholarships. I'm going to apply in March, after I have the required classes completed. Thank you so much in sharing with my happiness. It means so much to me to have people to talk to about this! *hugs*
