Yes! I'm a Proud Mom

I am always a proud mom.  Sometimes, though, I have to brag or I might just burst!

Mary was announced as a scholarship winner at last spring's Women's Glee Club concert. All summer she tried to find out how much the scholarship was worth so she could plan her finances. No one knew the answer.  Not the Glee Club Board, Glee Club Director or anyone in the financial aid that would have received the funds.  In fact  The scholarship was not received in time for the bill payment deadline.  She finally spoke with someone in the Music Department who had all the answers.  Her Scholarship is The Quinn Scholarship~ $4000.00!  Much more than we expected.  She will get to meet the donors at a dinner where she will be served filet mignon!  Wow, how cool is that?

Matthew has had a few great shots in the arm~
  • He was announced as the Vice President of Village Green this year. (The VP of VG!)
  • He is the PSM (production stage manager) for the GHS fall musical, Grease.   
  • Received a letter from Central Michigan University, accepting him as a student there next fall.  While this is NOT his first choice school, it is nice to get acceptance letters.  We hope to get those same kind of letters from University of Oklahoma and Western Michigan University.  He has been working hard keeping in touch with OU and WMU making sure he is completing everything  required for admission.


Sarah is keeping up with a busy schedule her senior year of college.  She has grown into a wonderful  young Christian woman.  Just talked with her and she has been cleared and will observe a surgery tomorrow!  I wish I could go too!  She is a little nervous that she might feel a little faint.   Say some prayers!  We are planning to back to Holland on Friday and watch a Men's Soccer game.  She is a trainer for that sport and will be working.  Hope has  a good soccer team, so it should be a fun evening. Wonder if I should wear a sweatshirt?  The temperatures have cooled off here.  Possible frost tonight and highs in the 60's.  Aaaaaah~just how I like it!


Better get some other things done...

Gracie, mom of Sarah, Mary and Matthew.
