Bailey earned a $2000 Boise State Capital Scholar Scholarship! The top 10% (in academics) of Idaho's juniors have a chance to receive it. They have to attend a banquet at Boise State, and then attend Boise State University for college. She was already leaning towards Boise State anyways, so it worked out perfectly. It provided us a great opportunity to take a trip to Boise, tour the campus, visit the criminal justice department, and get a lot of our questions answered. It was a fun 'college' day! Hannah, Sierra, and Kayla were there too. These girls are awesome! They run on the same relay team, and do all the same track events, and now they're touring colleges together. It's crazy that we're already to that part of life with Bailey. I'm pretty sure she was just in 6th grade! This got her super excited about college! I don't worry one bit about her leaving home and being on her own next year. She is beyond prepared. I just think of it as super exciting for her, and super sad for me.

| They have a great criminal justice department! |

| I love these cute girls! They are the perfect best friends! They are alike in some ways, but mostly so different. They compliment each other perfectly! |

| I hope Bailey gets to make lots of great memories in this stadium. |
She has plenty of time to make her final decision, but she said if she was headed to college at the end of this school year, she would choose Boise State. A lot can happen in a year, but so far it's a great match for her. I love that it's 4 hours away. That's the perfect distance for her to be on her own, and have the independent experience she's looking for, but close enough that she can drive home for long weekends if she wants to.
