Tyler in Texas

Tyler flew to Texas on Tuesday of this week to attend a scholarship competition which is being held at LeTourneau University this weekend. We are hoping of course that he might have a chance at winning something, but more than that, we are very thankful that he is able to be at LeTourneau to get a taste of college life. LeTu is where he hopes to enroll in the fall.
Besides participating in the competition (which involves writing essays, interviews, and a group activity) he is attending classes, staying in the dorm, eating meals in the dining hall, etc.
He was able to fly with Deena who is also a senior at BFA. She hopes to attend LeTu as well. Deena's grandparents have been so gracious to host Tyler before and after the competition. They sent some pictures of Tyler hanging out at their home.
Tyler's luggage did not arrive with him when he flew into Dallas, and he was still without it when they drove to LeTu yesterday. It is being delivered to him sometime this morning - we hope in time for the actual competition. Needless to say, he is ready for a change of clothes! He has been a good sport about it, though.
We'll post some more pictures of his campus visit later on.
