After a long and arduous process of forms, essays, letters of recommendation and interviews (not to mention four years of hard work in high school) Jacob got THE LETTER in the mail the other day!! He got the CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION TO THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE ACADEMY!! Obviously he still needs to get the appointment from the Academy, but this is required for acceptance and it brings the candidate pool down significantly!!! This is a HUGE honor and accomplishment for Jacob! Everything was riding on getting this nomination!!! Danny and I could NOT BE PROUDER OF HIM!!!
Here is the letter, otherwise known as the "golden ticket!"
We cannot tell you how much jumping up and down and screaming went on as Jacob read the letter and told us he got the nomination - and to the Air Force Academy - his FIRST choice!
Now we just have to keep on praying and waiting for the BIGGER news of an appointment to the academy... that could be as late as May... so we wait and pray and wait and pray!!
