The Eagle has landed!

Finally after a painstaking process, Devan has decided to attend Arizona State in the fall. We received notice late last week of her acceptance into the Barrett Honors college, and that pretty much sealed the deal. This process was long and sometimes agonizing for all of us, but in the end she has made a fine decision. ASU is well respected in the professional community, as is the honors program, and I am sure she will thrive and do very well there. Devan and Kelly went for a tour last Thursday, the Honors kids will have their very own brand new dorms this fall and they said they were really nice. The pre-registration was kind of a bust, as Devan will be testing out of several of the freshman requirements, but that will be later so... she will have to re-schedule some of her classes after the results come in. We are all so proud of Devan and all the hard work she has done to get to this point. I think Kelly put it best the other night when she said we now know the real meaning of "bitter sweet". We have worked hard to prepare her for this moment in her life, and yet we don't want her to go. At least she won't be too far away, and we can see her pretty much anytime we need a "Devan fix".


On a related note, we got notice this week that Cody has been asked to join National Junior Honor Society. Only the very top students are asked to join so this is a big honor for him. Yay Cody!!!
