Big Changes at the Meyers House



West Point Academy


We found out this week that Andy has been accepted to West Pt. and will report July 2nd, 2012.  After about 2 1/2 years of applications, essays, deadlines, interviews, physicals and tests, we can take a short (really short) break before we start getting things ready for him to go.  We are all excited for him and are trying to prepare for the big change that will be happening at our house.  When Andy got the first phone call on Wednesday night, he had a little smile on his face and I knew what was happening. Although it is hard for us to have any of our kids far away, we know that he will do great and he is ready.  As I'm sure all parents of future cadets feel, I think they're lucky to be getting such a fine young man.  We're planning on lots of frequent flier miles .
