Kylie is bound for BYU-Hawaii

Kylie has always talked about wanting to go to University of Utah where she was accepted but when she was filling out applications, on a whim, she decided to apply at BYU-Hawaii where she was also accepted.

I always thought it would be too expensive but Randy, who loves Hawaii and would love to see his daughter go to school there, did a cost comparison and, amazingly enough, the cost, including air fair was practically the same (in fact, U of U, was $200 more).

So, after gathering more info, prayer and fasting, Kylie decided just yesterday to attend BYU-Hawaii. So she will be attending classes, probably in the morning, and hanging out at the beach to study, all afternoon! She has an "in" to get a job at the campus bookstore so financially she should be able to swing it.

We are so excited for her. Randy is tickled I think. I am totally envious. When I was going to school, I never even thought to look at Hawaii because I thought it would be too expensive! Just goes to show, never make assumptions! Randy gets to go over with her and get her all set up. I really want to go too but adding another airplane tickets seems a little silly.

We are so proud of Kylie. She has always worked hard school and done well even while taking more rigorous coursework. She is self-disciplined, self-motivated and very rarely stressed about her workload. She has a very easy-going and loving nature and has been so obedient and quick to learn important lessons. She is quick to serve and a good friend to all. We will really miss her while she is away at school.
