Holli was able to get another scholarship for the second year through the American Cancer Society. This scholarship is awarded to students that have had cancer, were diagnosed under 21 years of age and have been accepted to an accredited university. She qualified last year and to keep the scholarship she has to maintain a 2.5 GPA and do at least 25 hours of volunteer work for the American Cancer Society. Holli did way more hours doing the Relay For Life in Logan. She was in charge of all of the teams that did the relay and together with the community they raised about $12,000 for the American Cancer Society. She maintained a 3.9 GPA last year. She also had two other scholarships last year and still has one from Utah State this year and is waiting to hear on the other one. We attended a dinner and awards ceremony on Thursday May 14th to see her accept the scholarship. She will attend Utah State University again this fall. We are so proud of you Holli!
Thomas and Stephanie went to court on Friday, May 8th, and had their daughter Krista's adoption finalized, so now she is legally theirs. Stephanie's mom Sandra, Cheri and myself were privileged to witness the court hearing. Saturday, May 9th, they had her sealed to them for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple, so now Krista is theirs forever. There were 37 people in the sealing room to witness the sealing. They have a great support group. We all went to dinner at the Golden Coral after the sealing. They will have her blessed next Sunday, May 17th. What a great weekend!
