Congrats! KrisMac,
I am also waiting on my acceptance letter ( supposed to be mailed after April 15). You seem to be in a similar situation that I am with the family, kids and school. I am excited and at the same time a little worried about being overwhelmed with it all.
I am sure if we stay positive and focused on our goals we will do just fine. Good Luck.

Woohoo, Krismac!
I know that you will get it together... you've done the prereq's... one prereq has to be making it through the prereq's with a family!
I went to my school's preview with DH yesterday... later we went for coffee and he told me that he might be retired before I am out of school. This is not his choice but the Army might be done with him. Our budget doesn't really allow for me to go to school and him not bring in our current income. Cost of living here in HI is very pricey... we don't have to pay for housing now. But, I really feel like this is something that I am meant to do and so I am trusting God to work out the details. Things might get tight, but it will all be over in 2 years... yea!

Well....
I was told to expect to hear from the program I applied to the second week of April but the letter was there yesterday. I sat there for a few minutes with it sitting on my lap, terrified to open it.
Finally ripped it open and saw the words congratulations. Of course I went into an instant meltdown of happy sobbing!!
After 2 years of prereqs I now have the letter in my hand! Just had to share. I am truly scared to death at this point. How to juggle kids, school, husband, job, and pay for it. But I am gonna give it my best shot and see what happens. Now that I am in it seems like those worries are kind of fading into the background. If we have to scrimp for the next 2 years and live in a less than tidy house so what!!
I am in!!!!
Thanks for listening - I had to share with others who knew what this means to me. Family is always happy but you all understand the real meaning of this. Have a great day everyone! Good luck to all those who are waiting
