Today while picking up DD's little sisters from school, my phone rings and it is from DD who is away at prep/college in TX. As I answer, she begins screaming something into the phone. I'm like, "say that again, what?" More screaming in the background. I still can't understand her. Finally I ask, hoping that my heart is right, that this screaming is about USNA, and sure enough she finally is able to speak clearly and tell me that she received a call from our former congressman's liaison telling her of her appointment to USNA!!!! BFE will follow soon. We, little sisters and I all start joyfully screaming with her. Yeah!! I thought it would take a little longer, if ever, for this day to come, but IT DID! We are calm now. No more screaming, just a big smile on my face. Oh and when I called my DH he said he got a lot of happy screaming too! DD and her prep friends are very excited about her appointment. So, those still waiting, keep the faith and don't worry, for some the ride is just a little longer!
