Smile Re: Dear Sisters of our Beloved Jessica (JML)

Very good look forward to hearing from you! Your daughter must get her intelligence from her Mamma!

My son is going to William Jewell in Liberty, MO to play Division 2 basketball on a full ride scholarship, so that was a HUGE blessing because it is a beautiful and awesome school. If he had to go on his grades from highschool which aren't horrible because NCAA requires you to have 2.7 or up but if they based it on grades alone he wouldn't have been able to get in. However, the academics at this school are outstanding!!

My new AVI picture is what he surprised me with 2 days before he left for summer school in MO. The coach wanted him to have transition to college, and Strength and Conditioning all summer to prepare for bball. One thing I am THRILLED about (another blessing) is I can watch all his games online. Oh and I don't have any Tattoo's but it is his way of expressing himself, I guess.

My Therapist is wonderful, and I went to her 2 years ago it was the first time I had ever went to one. I have went to her once recently and going again on the 1st. It is hard to get in because I can't use my vacation time for that because it goes towards treatments. But she is good enough to schedule me in after I get off work, and I have to drive to Illinois which is a half hour away. I told her she needed to start counseling on Skype and she might down the road. I know I would sure be able to do that much easier then going to an appt.

Anyway, have a great rest of the day!
