| This is what a face looks like when the body/brain has worked it's ass off for the result she got!!! |
Beauty was ACCEPTED!!!!!!! Not waitlisted…not
refused..but ACCEPTED. This was even better than in our dreams. Meaning the
school deems she is the perfect fit for them and their academic standards. We
assumed would not happen because her French marks are lower than they normally
look for this to be super high , but she is very very strong (especially for a
girl) in math and other subjects and I think that was very attractive for them.
Also at the end of her essay she signed her name and
xoxoxoxoxo and I think it melted their heartsJ
Yesterday was such an awesome day. And so well deserved as
was part of a very hard week overall.
Here is the story:
Dad gets the email at home at 9:30am that she has been
accepted. He sings and dances and screams in house alone
This Mom gets a call on way to work and pulls over in
parking lot and is in total shock and is shaking
I call my Mom and tell her and she is the only one bc I
can’t live a moment of life without telling my Mommy. Impossible.
Texts and emails start flowing in inboxes of all the
others Moms saying their kids got in or not in and what about my kid?
I ignore all emails and texts until 3:15pm as want Beauty
to be first to know. The world thinks I have gone MIA
I work but leave at lunch for a break to see my Ironmen
at lunch. Of course on Facebook between breaks they are on phones and know who
in the world got in and who did not and they want to know about their sister. I
tell them I don’t know and am only checking at 3pm with Beauty. They think I
have lost my mind and with all their Ironman friends nearly trample me and beat
me up.
At 3pm I meet Hubby at his office and we get to work
setting up the scene the speaker system and warning his secretaries. Beauty
shows up at office at 3:10pm and we tell her we have not looked at results. We
tell her to open the email herself. She sits down at desk and opens it and in
first line reads “Admis”. She turns her head and says to Dad ”does this mean
accepted?” He says yes. He turns on her high school song (each kid has one) and
it is “Good Time”. It starts blasting in office. (PS we have way more rituals
around high school acceptance than we do for Christmas!!)
She goes into his arms for a 7 minute hug and cry of joy
and does not stop crying and crying and crying.
Then it is my turn and I get a 2 minute hug and crying crying
crying.
(secretaries both crying and watching all of this)
Then she calls all “the girls” and they have all gotten
in (almost impossible as only 1-5 ratio of chances but they all did it and I guess they
choose likeminded friends! They all cry for each other this smart team.
Beauty and I go to Ironman together. On the way Bear
calls her and says his congrats and my heart melts for their sweet conversation.
Chase calls her too…and I am so happy they all have each other. Beauty texts
all of Chase and Bears friends to tell them which also makes my heart melt.
At Ironman since so many students there they are all
hugging her and kissing her and saying what fun she will have for 5 years!!!
Beauty makes me drive around the school forever and keeps
saying “that is my school..that is my school”
Then we decide to have an impromptu last minute party for
the girls and celebrate with them. We take them all to Menchies and they all
have a blast. A separate post on these friendships and others this weekend as I
was in awe.

| I love this picture as they don't know I am outside taking it. It is all of them writing on the resto chalkboard the school name and we got in for over 30 minutes!!! |
 |
| The girls minus one that was at a restaurant with her Grandad celebrating |
We all go to bed spend and exhausted!!!! One of the
Ironman goes out until late at night so I have to get up and go pick him up
late (he is not tired????. The other takes a hot bath and tries to lock the
door from all the girls in the) house.
Both boys competed the challenge of a lifetime which
happens yearly. Ironman 2013!!!

| THE Ironman (Chase did not want pictures what a shock!!) |

| Famous IronMan tents |
It starts all over this morningas Beauty is now writing
second choice school exam just in case as a backup as we never know what life
holds. Also she says she wants to see her second acceptance just for fun (she hopes)
And I am left here completely speechless. How did this
happen three kids at this school? How did it happen that they all see this
acceptance as one of the best moments of their lives-most older girls at school
compared it to wedding days, birth of first child etc…OMG!!!!!!!! I am
speechless and thankful that this school has this affect. What a gift. I certainly
never felt that way about my own schooling.Liked it enough...but covet and celebrate it? Not.
Next comes dance auditions in two weeks. That one as far
as I am concerned is in the bag but we just never ever know.
Beauty…..you are something else girl. Determination and
confidence can get you far in life and this girl is stacked to the brim with both
I tell you. Screw the French and Science mark!

| I adore these girls. I have known them forever it seems and I realized last night how fun these next few years will be....another post on friendship to come soon on this and more |

| Day of exam. Daddy and his girl. This Guy is a solid Rock when it comes to the work he puts into the kids education, success and happiness. You have never met a more devoted man to them when it comes to which highschool he wants for them. He lost so much sleep (and time!) over this. |
