I have been waiting for this day, for like....ever. So you can only imagine how Andy's been feeling. We've known for a while that we would probably get out of the army after Andy's commitment was up. Andy expressed interest in going to grad-school , but wasn't sure exactly what he wanted to do. Sometimes it would change from day to day. After exploring a lot of options he decided to start preparing for the GMAT. He studied all the time, and devoted a lot of energy to it. About a year later he finally took the GMAT, hoping to receive a score that would be good enough for him to compete at his top school choices. Harvard, MIT and possibly Stanford. Thankfully, with help from the Lord - his score was better than we hoped for and we moved forward with the application process. There is a lot of time, money and energy (a lot of prayers too) involved in applying to grad school! Once the application process was over I was relieved...and I know Andy was even more so.
Soon after his application was submitted, Andy got an invitation to interview at Harvard. He spent a week out there, touring the campus, meeting other students and even attending some classes. If he wasn't sure about Boston before that, then this trip definitely sealed the deal! He loved it, and we became even more excited about the possibility of going there. Needless to say after his interview we have had to wait 6 LONG weeks to hear back...and are happy to report that this morning Andy received an acceptance letter to Harvard Business School, class of 2014! I couldn't be happier or more proud of him and all of his hard work. We are so excited where our next adventure will take us (even if we will be broke! haha). We truly have been so blessed as a family, and couldn't have done it without the Lords help! For now we will enjoy our last months in the Army - and in the West!
