Her first official acceptance

Yesterday the mail brought Catherine's first acceptance letter.  We were all so excited!  It doesn't mean she is going to attend there, but we are super excited that this is an option.  Unfortunately, she doesn't meet the requirements to enter the pre-nursing program, so she will need to see what she can do in that regard.  I just can't believe that these days are upon us.  Monday was such a rough day for her in terms of her attitude and decisions she was making, so it terrifies me that someday she is going to be completely on her own.  At the same time, I know she is a lovely young lady, truly, and she is going to be fine.  Oh goodness, these years have gone by so quickly.  I am so excited to see what next year brings, but sure don't want to wish away this year!
