Lee in Manhattan

Well, it isn't official yet, we are still getting our ducks in a row, but last weekend we attended the K-State Day for transfer students. The great folks at K-State spent a great deal of time with us answering all of our questions and showing us around.

Lee even did a really nice drawing of the Beach Museum while we were there. The Beach Museum is K-States Art Museum located on the Southeast corner of the campus. If you look real close you can see an orange Chihuly hanging in the window.

The weather was just beautiful and we didn't want to leave when it was all over. Nik had fun playing in a tree.

We even took some time with a Realtor to start looking at houses. There isn't much available this time of year, and our list of criteria (as usual) was quite specific, so we didn't see much. However, on Wednesday, upon returning home, the cutest, cleanest, most perfectest little house became available. We all fell in love immediately, unfortunately, we didn't act fast enough and lost it to another buyer. We are still keeping our fingers crossed that something might go wrong with the first buyer and we can have another chance, or something very similar comes along and we can have a chance with it.

Never the less, we are trying to keep the mind set that it wasn't supposed to be, if it doesn't happen. We are still upset about it...but what are you going to do?

Anyway...our next step is to get in Lee's application. She has 21 A's and 10B's currently at Columiba College which gives her a gpa of at least 3.6 and she has two more semesters to go yet, so we don't see any reason why she shouldn't get into the Architecture program. Even the Assistant Dean at the K-State Architecture Department said, "Just get here". I think she is looking forward to Lee attending too.

Another thing we need to do is look around at scholarships. We are spoiled with not having to pay tution now, it's going to be difficult to accept paying for a large sum now. Besides we now have living expenses to figure in. Lee will also need a car. Her little 91 Pontiac barely gets up to 50 miles an hour. Just fine for around town, but not I-70.

We will know everything by mid March. So then, I'll write a big entry to celebrate knowing what our next 5 years will be like. Either admittance, or a job and reapplying the next fall.
Wish us luck!
