Next Year's Plans...

Well, Christmas break brought us a lot to think about for Brad's future. Brad was planning on graduating this May. The opportunity was brought up to transfer to Utah University and go to Grad School while playing ball. We were really excited and thought that was what we were going to do. Well it turns out it would be almost impossible for Brad to graduate in May and therefore he wouldn't be able to transfer. Well the Lord works in mysterious ways. Soon after, (meaning like hours) Marilyn (athletic advisor) mentioned to Brad that he could continue going to school this next year on full scholarship, room and board without having to be a part of basketball at all! We were both in shock and didn't know whether to believe it. The deal is, if an athlete can't graduate in 4 academic years the program has to scholarship him the 5th year since the sport was the hold up on the amount of credits they can take. YIPEE! Our prayers were answered and Brad will be going to school here one more year. It will work out for the best... he will graduate in Business Management with a minor in Marketing PLUS a minor in Spanish PLUS get his pre req classes for Radiology Tech. We will be applying to a variety of programs here in Oklahoma and Utah for another two year program. If all goes well brad will be done with school in another 3 years! He's in for a ride :)

That's awesome. What a blessing to have school paid for. It is nice to be settled on a plan that will work for both of you.
