First, Pace was put on the wait list at UofA!
(In Tucson - yes, some 1.5 hours from our home and families)
Quite tempting you can imagine (for me at least) to cry, beg, plead, and pray that we end up there! But... I'm not "of little faith".
Truthfully, both places come with wonderful perks:
Lubbock= cheap, new experience and a semester in Spain.
Tucson = still inexpensive, closer to family and a higher ranked school.
So, our plan (to keep me from worrying myself into virtual insanity) is to:
1. Have faith that we will end up where we should be.
2. Be packed and ready to go to Lubbock, TX come August 8th (or so).
Should UofA call prior to that time... we'll think it over (it is likely we would stay). UofA says most students will hear between June 15th and August 25th.
(FYI, orientation in Lubbock is on August 13th)
A little crazy, but that's our plan! Also, If the home isn't sold we plan to rent it. What more can we do? In reality, renting it might be an even better option for us (in the long run). Again, both outcomes have their perks = Trust in the Lord.
And, here are some "funnies" Sydney has pulled as of late.
For your reading pleasure... She sure is at a fun age!
Part I: Movie Time
Pace rents The Bee Movie, hoping she'll enjoy watching it with us. She doesn't. After entertaining herself for the majority of the movie, she comes and puts her face between me and the TV and says and signs "Baff." (Bath)
"Ok, this is over in about 10 mins, I'll give you a bath then."
She goes to her Dad and communicates the same request.
He says the same thing and she walks away.
Next thing we know, Sydney is at the TV, turns it OFF, ejects the DVD, closes the armoire doors, then turns to us sweetly as if to say, Now that have your attention - "BAFF" please. I laughed so hard I covered my mouth. She must've thought I was upset because she walked over to me and, rubbing her chest with her fist, said so sincerely, "Sorry! Sorry!"
Part II: Bath time
Pace went and drew her a bath.
Then came back to try and finish the movie.
Not much time went by and we herd her yell, "Hey!"
Pace went in, laughed and called for me to come look,
said I wouldn't be disappointed.
I thought she had out done herself this time, maybe had pulled the bathmat into the tub (it's usually a towel). Nope, she had dragged her favorite pink blankie into the tub!
I asked, "What have you done?"
She, obviously sad, stuck out her little lip and tried to explain. I reached in and pulled the blankie out - the bath was really cool compared to her usual temperature!
She was cold, that's why she went and got her blanket!
We warmed up her bath and put her blanket in the dryer.
Soon she was warm and cozy, asleep in bed.
Seriously, I love the "wonderful" 2's!
