Ella is College Bound

Ella is quickly approaching her last semester as a high school senior and I am so proud of all her accomplishments. She performed at our stake cultural night and when she got home she opened a letter from SUU. She had been accepted electronically, so she assumed it was just the formal letter in the mail. She, however, was overjoyed to open it to see that she had been awarded a scholarship to SUU that would help substantially!! As you can see from the picture I took right after she opened it, she was overjoyed with emotion! 

She immediately called her dad to tell him the news!

She has felt strongly for about a year and a half that she is supposed to go to SUU for whatever reason. She has had several promptings and even though it's small and not what she intended, this was the last answer to her prayers. Since she felt pretty strongly about SUU she only applied to one other school, USU. She also received acceptance and a scholarship there, but as of right now plans to attend SUU. 

Here is her senior photo! She looks so old! I am so sad she will be leaving us soon, but know she is going to do great things!
