We're going crazy!

Exciting news! Tanner just got accepted as an IN STATE resident! That means our timeline has shrunk by an entire year. I guess buying a house did the trick! We're reeling from the shock, and at the same time we're trying to figure out which courses would be the best for him to take. They have this great summer program called the May-minimester and Summer 1 & 2. The May-minimester crams a subject into 12 days, so we've decided to take state and federal history. Summer 1 & 2 are 5 week courses, and we're going to attempt Calculus 1 and 2. It's going to be a little tough since Georgie isn't weaned, yet, so I don't feel comfortable getting a job. We're hoping that she'll be ready when September rolls around, so that Tanner can go to a part time position instead of the full time that he is right now.

So...hopefully the MHCC transcripts arrive before the end of the week. Hopefully our financial aid comes in. Then we wait until the 20th to register for the courses.

There are so many wonderful facets with this new development. We could make a push for it and finish up ahead of schedule, or we could take it easy and stretch the schooling out for an extra year. If we finish up early, it would mean that Kate would be able to settle into a new class environment during the first year of middle school, so during the time when she would normally "switch" schools, we could make the move. It would also mean the Reagan wouldn't have to switch school because she would start kindergarten the same year that we moved. All in all, I think God knows exactly what he's doing. I just hope we can figure it out and do the right thing.
