We Got a YES!!

We Got a Yes!!
We are going to wait and see what comes in with the other schools, but it is great to have a YES! Especially from Tennessee. It was one of Garrans top two and it is ranked top 3 in the US for printmaking!!
So two down three to go! We will keep hoping for good news!
We are sad it did not come with an assistanship, but those are reviewed every semester, so it is not like we would never get one!
Here is the first paragraph of the letter they sent!

Dear Garran,
I am pleased to let you know that you have been accepted to the graduate program in studio art at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville with a concentration in printmaking. A letter will be sent soon with more information. We deeply regret that we do not have an assistantship to accompany this acceptance, as we are very impressed with you work and your application materials. We are not surprised that your faculty mentors speak so highly of you.

our story

Midwest, United States
I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
