hello from the Shrontz's

Hello everyone!

I just thought that I would update everyone about what is going on in our lives.

In May Jason will graduate with is Masters of English, and so with the completion of his degree, we needed to think about our plans for his next degree.

In January we started sending out applications to different colleges. Jason's application process was a ton more involved than mine were.
He had to prepare a statement of purpose, his teaching philosophy, writing samples, and applications to the school, the English program, and for a teaching position. So, like I said a ton of work went into these applications.
Unfortunately getting into a Masters of Fine Arts program is VERY competitive, and the schools only have so many spots that they have available in their programs.

Jason was accepted into a couple of schools and most importantly to Northern Michigan.
Northern was very excited for Jason to stay here and offered him a teaching position with pay and full school tuition.

We are so excited that we will be able to stay up in "God's country" a little bit longer.

Right now we are just finishing up this semester and wishing and hoping that we will get one last snow day! Yes, you heard right. Another snow day possibly tomorrow.
They have been upgrading and downgrading the storm system coming our way for the last two days, but when last checked....it was a blizzard warning....IN APRIL! It will be a great April Fool's joke!

I don't know about anyone else's husband, but Jason has been counting down the minutes to the opening day of baseball! GO TIGERS!!!

We love you all.

Stacey and Jason
