Haven't posted in a while. DD was accepted to all the schools she applied (4 total), but none were much of a stretch. She's decided on her 1st choice (private, out of state). She was offered a nice scholarship, small grant and work study, however, it still puts the OOP about $5k/year more than the in-state public school (2nd choice). She knows she's responsible for coming up with the difference as our agreement has always been that her dad and I can/will fund the equivalent of 4 years at a state school. She has a job interview this afternoon as a host for a local restaurant. If she gets it, it'll be her first "real" job.
Biggest change on the home front is that there is now a boy in the picture. DD has not really dated. Her personality combination of shyness (anxiety) and sharp wit (sarcasm) doesn't play well with the typical high school boy. But one has risen to the challenge. She now has prom plans, which has left me a little unprepared. Heck, I think she's only attended one dance in all four years of high school. She's found the dress and shoes, but now there's hair, nails and flowers?
During spring break we visited her college choice. Not sure if she's really ready for the change in climate. We're in central Texas, which sees snow about once in ten years. She's moving somewhere that averages 50-60 inches a year!
