Moving on with Senior Life

We enjoyed a wonderful post season football banquet with Jordan and his teammates a few weeks ago. I was able to get some autograph balls for the seniors and had them printed with the Lehi school logo. They loved them, which is all that matters. Jordan received honors from his coaches for being "The Academic Team Player of the year," "Academic All-Region", and a nominee for "Academic All-State." He was also nominated to participate in the UHSAA Region Sportsmanship Summit Luncheon this last Friday at Timpanogos High School. It's quite an honor as only 10 athletes (including all sports) from each school got to go.

He had an MRI on his knee for pain, but it's just bad tendinitis. Lot's of physical therapy and time off from football should do the trick...except that now he starts basketball. "The Naughty Pirates" are a hilarious basketball team full of football players TRYING to play basketball.

He (and I) finally finished all the many hours of paperwork and computer work for his college applications. His plan (for now anyway) is to major in Finance. He applied to BYU, Utah State, University of Utah (even though he says now that it’s one of the last places on earth he’d want to go – too much cougar blue blood running through his veins), and Northern Arizona State. We have heard back from every school except for BYU. He has been accepted to all of them and has been offered a partial scholarship to Utah State. Of course, BYU is his number one choice, but we won’t know their admission decision until the end of February…His GPA says yes, but his ACT score says maybe. Keep your fingers crossed!
