"It's official . . .

they emailed today the offer of full tuition and books.  He's very excited but said the professional thing to do is to let it marinate a while and then accept.  Yahoo!!!"

That is the full message from Misty today.  She is talking about the 

BYU baseball scholarship 

offer to Jackson. 

(look at that form!)

Do you think we are just a little excited???   I told Misty to tell him that once I broadcast it on my blog (with it's word wide viewers), that it is no longer "marinating" but that it is a done deal.

Two coaches went out to St. Louis last week to watch him pitch in a practice facility. They met with him and Misty and Dan and verbally gave him the offer then.  But I didn't want to tempt fate by revealing it before its time (it needed to marinate a bit).

Next year he is a Senior, and if he goes on a mission first, it will be more like 3 1/2 years before he's here playing.  But, I told him I'm already planning menus for him.  And Gary said he could stay here, but that curfew is at 10 pm (yeah, sure).

We are very proud of all the hard work and dedication that has brought him to this point.  And credit also goes to his whole family for their sacrifice in supporting him in all his games, practices, and travels.

As Misty said, "YAHOO!"
