Yep, I said it... I received an answering machine message today with some good news in the midst of a lot of bad. Recently my grandfather passed away, and I needed a pick-me-up. Today I got the news that I was accepted into my summer program. I'm so excited, yet it's hard to be too excited.
You see, it's great that I was accepted, especially since my wife urged me to do it. I was a bit gun-shy about applying because I've applied to programs before, and haven't been accepted. However, I will be gone for a whole month, and won't see my family for that amount of time. Additionally, I won't see them for a total 7 weeks. My wife will leave with the kids, to visit her family in KY while I'm gone. Rather than drive them back 10 hours back and forth (because her brother is getting married at the end of August), I'll just fly out there for the wedding and we'll all drive back together. So I'm looking forward to the experience, but not being without them for that long. Let's hope it goes well for them and me.
