Red Riot

Caitlyn gets so much college mail, at least a couple of pieces a day.  Last week she opened a letter and started screaming in excitement.  She got a letter from SUU offering her a $16,000 scholarship, $2000 a semester for four years.  They have automatic academic scholarships based on either your ACT score or your GPA and she qualified for one of the highest ones.  Nice work Caitlyn! 

Caitlyn and Amarie both want to go to Southern Utah University next year and room together. They were having a Red Riot, where people can come check out the school and stay over night with a host,   so Mel and I took them down there.

I love that they wanted to stop for Happy Meals for lunch on their way to college, ha! 

We went early so we could take the housing tour.  We got to see the different on campus housing options.  

It really hit home that Caitlyn will be moving out soon.  It makes me sad and really excited for her.

I'm so glad Caitlyn has worked so hard and will have some scholarships because college is expensive!  I think I was in denial about just how much it was going to cost until this weekend.

After the housing tour they had a question and answer session and then a campus tour. 

The campus is beautiful.  It really does seem like a good fit for Caitlyn.

After the campus tour Mel and I left and went to our hotel.  Mel and I went to dinner and then hung out at our hotel that night. 

They had fun activities. They played games, had scary stories and danced. 

Caitlyn and Amarie were happy that they got to stay together.  Here they are with their hosts, they both really liked them.  The next morning we picked up the girls and headed back home.  Caitlyn was excited about SUU before, but I think this weekend sealed the deal for her, she loved it!
