short update

i am working a bit more than usual so i don't really have too much to chat about. but i do have a HUGE prayer request...as you are all aware megan is getting ready to say good-bye to her high school career and head on out to penn state. we are in the midst of tons of paper work and she has been working on applying for financial aid scholarships...writing essay after essay after essay. (better her than me...i still don't have my thank you cards done).

today we received a letter from penn state stating that she is eligible to apply for a "special" scholarship offered to students who have recently lost a parent and can show financial need...it is a HUGE scholarship and she only has a short time to pull all the information they need. PRAY that she finds the right words to put in her essay and that she finds favor with the committee that decides who deserves the scholarship. Pray that i can find the right words also because i too have to send in an essay (sorta) explaining our situation and how this scholarship would benefit our family.

it is hard to describe how much of a blessing this would be to us right now.

thanks for checking in
