Baylor University Visit

Meredith and I were up early today for a drive to central Texas.

Some of the scenery we enjoyed:

wide open fields, cows at pasture, picturesque windmills, 

winding backroads and horses under huge shade trees.

I even let Meredith play her country music. It seemed appropriate.

We had a campus visit at Baylor University.

We had a wonderful time which included an hour with a nursing school advisor.

The information we gathered was very helpful and confirmed for Meredith

that this program indeed positions her well for her long term nursing goals -

becoming a neonatal nurse practitioner.

Two years on the Waco campus and then two years in Dallas at the 

Baylor medical center in the nursing program.

And then, a job/internship in a NICU for 12-18 months.

After two years of that experience, she can enter the program to get her specialization

as a neonatal nurse practitioner.

Of course that could all change, but if it doesn't, this is the place that can help her get there!

The campus was lovely.  The people were friendly.  Texas friendly.

She liked the big university amenities with the small college feel.

I had to agree. I could see her on this campus. All the students we met

and interacted with were very impressive and much like Meredith.

And we already know they have a vibrant RUF ministry on campus

(reformed university fellowship)

The pastor is great friends with our pastor!  That is a comfort.

And the sight of boots in the bookstore was pretty awesome, too!

Praying for God to continue to lead and guide her 

as she considers the options and makes some decisions.  

Hard to believe she'll be cranking out those college apps and essays THIS SUMMER!
