The Verdict & Conference weekend.

And the verdict is:
San Angelo, TX!

We were sooo shocked when Porter recieved a call from Angelo State Univerity in Texas last Wednesday offering him a position in their Doctor of Physical Therapy program. He was an alternate but they decided to increase their class size and accept 4 more students! How crazy is that! On top of that surprise, they then proceeded to tell him that because his GPA was high he was going to be awarded a scholarship which included him playing in-state tuition instead of out-of-state, and $6,000 per year to help in tuition costs. So, after the scholarship the whole doctoral program will be about $8,000 plus books! I normally wouldn’t bore anyone with the numbers and money part of this but it is just crazy how cheap this program will be. It is a really great program too and fully accredited to. From what we hear San Angelo is a beautiful place to live and we can’t wait to go. The money savings is more than we could have ever dreamed of for him to become a PT. We feel sooooo darn blessed. We have to be there May 20th so we will be moving mid-May. I hate the idea of moving so far away from family (12 hours) but we are excited to get started on this adventure!

We really enjoyed last weekend relaxing and hanging with family. Monty and Kendra and their kids came to Snowflake for a visit so we had fun spending lots of time with the "Caldwell Cousins" before we move. It was so nice to hear from our church leaders and spending time with loved ones.

The brothers. Oh brother!!!  :)
Silly kiddos. Mallory think she is as old as Reagan and Krew and Cooper. She likes to hang with them instead of the "babies". ha.

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Love ya-all. (I am preparing to be a Texan!)
