brag on ben

So have I told y'all lately how adorable and and SMART my brother is? OH yea, I did a whole post about him last month when he made the All-academic team! Well he's gone and out done himself and I need to do some more bragging!

Ben applied and has been selected to attend the ASC Nuclear and Radiochemistry Summer school at San Jose State University in San Jose, CA. He's 1 of 12 students selected nationwide to attend the 6 week invitation-only summer school in San Jose (12 more were selected to attend one in Long Island, NY). He received a heafty stipend to cover all of his travel, class, book and living expenses!

I mean how cool is that!?!? He will have to miss Molly's arrival, but what a great cause and what an amazing opportunity! We are all so impressed by him and excited for him! Congrats again Ben!

Katie,
So I was cracking up at your thank you note post...and I totally agree. Well I got your thank you note in the mail and thought we may have been an Erik card...but you wrote it! Enjoy your weekend, don't you know the boys are having a blast! I think after Molly comes we need to join them on the trip, or wait maybe getting a hotel near by with a pool and margaritas!
