We are headed to Law School!!!!....but Where??

Oklahoma City University HERE WE COME! WHOOP! Today was a wonderful day. We found out that Chris was awarded the Hatton Sumners Scholarship. But I am jumping ahead of myself...

Back in August, Chris sent in his applications for law school. One week later, he received his first ACCEPTANCE LETTER from Oklahoma City University! Then a monthish later we received a letter in the mail that Oklahoma City University had awarded him a $26,000 yearly scholarship! Whoop! We were on cloud nine! After that came lots of acceptance letters and lots of scholarship offers. Then we were nothing but confused. Where were we supposed to go? Who were we going to accept? There were so many options that there was just one thing to do...Make a Spreadsheet of course. :) We wrote down all of the schools and all important information about each scholarship including any scholarship awarded. After many and many more hours, days, months, and trips to schools and more talking about each school we finally narrowed the playing field down to two law schools....Oklahoma City University and Southtexas! In the middle of all the questioning and all the information Chris found out that he was eligible to apply for a full ride scholarship to Oklahoma City University (The Hatton Sumner Scholarship!). So of course he applied. What would be more perfect than to have Law School paid for? A thought that hadn't crossed my mind when we initially applied to law schools. Not that I thought Chris wasn't good enough to get a scholarship (anyone who knows me know that I think that Chris can do no wrong!! :) ), I just saw graduating from law school and with that some debt to go along with it. However, my tune changed when that first scholarship came in the mail. Now the thought of paying nothing else for school was super duper exciting!!

...so Chris applied for the Scholarship. How this scholarship worked was that of all the applicants only 20 finalist were chosen. Those 20 were then flew or drove back to Oklahoma City and went through an interview with several members of the board of trustee from the Hatton Sumners Foundation. After the interviews they would give 4-6 finalist the Hatton Sumners Scholarship for the upcoming year!!

Chris went and interviewed last Friday at 2:20. The interview went really well and if you want the full story you'll have to call him....or maybe I'll write another blog about it, but it is enough to say that he impressed the trustees. AND today we found out that CHRIS WAS AWARDED TO SCHOLARSHIP! so...

We are going to Oklahoma City!! AND Chris is going to Law School on a Full Ride Scholarship! 

This is such a blessing in our lives. I am so grateful and proud of Chris! Thanks for all the prayers and fasting and love from all of our family and friends!
