Only 12 weeks left

That's right, 12 weeks and my babies will be done with high school! Hard to believe. We are very busy looking for and applying for scholarships. All three kids have bee accepted to all the colleges they applied to. Jack and Elizabeth REALLY want to attend Heidelberg Univ in Tiffin, Ohio. Tom and I took them on a visit and then the two of them went back for an overnight visit. They love it there. It's expensive! $31,000/year!!! Elizabeth was awarded a $10,000 academic scholarship, plus $5,000 to cover her out-of-state status. Then we got her financial aid package in the mail. With fin/aid and scholarships she will still need to come up with $6,500 in loans or scholarship money. The rest is covered. This weekend is dedicated to scholarship applications.
Jack also was awarded an academic scholarship for $8,000, plus the $5,000 for out-of-state status. His financial aid package hasn't arrived yet. Their second choice is Western Michigan Univ. We haven't received any financial aid info from them yet.
Jessica plans on attending Washtenaw Community College for 2 years and then transferring to Western. She is applying for a scholarship to WCC which would be a full-ride for 2 years if she gets it.

I'm getting busy with grad party details. SO much to do.

Tom is okay. He had a bad fall last week and hit his head pretty hard on the tile floor. He is also trying to recover from the flu. Before he got sick with the flu, he was going to physical therapy 3 times a week to help with his core strength.

My news is that I am training for my very first 5K run. I go to the gym 4 days a week to run/walk on treadmill and lift weights. I say run/walk because I'm working up to being able to actually run 1 mile without walking. Right now I can run a little more than 1/4 mile and then I walk for 90 seconds and then run again, and so on. Each week I increase my run time and keep my walk time to 90 seconds. Eventually I will eliminate the walk time. I've lost 60lbs in a year, but then dumby me, I gained 18 back over the holidays which I'm now still working to lose.
