Since I already threw caution to the wind and posted a picture of Two in a wedding dress this afternoon, I'm just going to go for broke and share all sorts of crazy news that isn't mine!
I am literally bursting with excitement for my little sisters, Four and Five. And not just because they're road-tripping through Croatia at this very moment (and we all know I think a good Croatian roadtrip is pretty close to Heaven). No, today I am over the moon because BOTH these lovely ladies got into and decided to matriculate at my very own alma mater! I've been just buzzing ever since I got the news. I think I might be even more excited about it than they are. College was such a formative time in my life; I made so many decisions about the person I am now, (the very best of which was to spend an awful lot of time with a certain witty Republican from Utah). I'm feeling weirdly emotional about it today -- Looking at those adorable pictures of the Princess, it struck me that she is just one year younger than my baby sister was when I went away to Yale. And that really doesn't seem like it was that long ago. And now she's going there herself. And then I watched this ridiculously nerdy video. And started crying like a baby. Because I'm SO HAPPY. And grateful. And old...
If you're not in the mood for 17 minutes of cheesy, musical, Ivy League propaganda, here is a slightly shorter (but equally cheesy and musical) video thrown together by a couple of Yalies. That also made me cry....
P.S. In case all these irrational tears have you wondering: No, Mom. I'm not pregnant.
ReplyDeleteyou're a nut:)
ReplyDeleteyour family blows. my. mind.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that sentence didn't end, as I originally thought it did, with blows.
ReplyDeleteDude. So. One's comment made me laugh out loud, and Elle and Jared's comment reflects my sentiments as well. Just wow.
ReplyDeleteLaughed at One's comment. Agreed with E&J's comment. Laughed louder at Corban's comment. Happy for all of you!
ReplyDeleteScott and I laughed and laughed, but ... I WANT TO GO TO YALE!!! I think it's too late, but I really want to go. :)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't be happier for both of my beloved bombshells!! I've been doing my own floating over here just thinking about everything they have waiting ahead for them. I think and dream and am SO HAPPY! I haven't cried yet, though. Maybe I should watch the propaganda again.
still laughing at corban's comment.
