Wow, congrats!!!

 

[BrightSpot]

YAY!!!!!!

Oh Lisa, I''m so happy for Ash...and for you! (I''m literally grinning from ear to ear!

)

I think she''s going to be really happy at Penn & how nice that she doesn''t have to worry about college admissions for the rest of her senior year! (and to get in your first choice school to boot!)

I hope you guys are enjoying that champagne...you deserve it!

Please give her a big hug for me. (Well, maybe you don''t have to tell her it''s from me as she doesn''t know me...

)

Thanks for the sweet comment. I''m glad I could help.

(Though I have to admit I felt SO old today when I realized that she was finding out about her acceptance via the internet, rather than the post! Was it really that long ago that I went through this?

)

Have a great night & best of luck to Ash on her AP exam tomorrow...

Well, Donald Trump is a UPenn graduate, and he can afford pretty much the whole ocean!

 

[Kaleigh]

She didn''t apply to the Wharton School but will major in economics and take many classes at Wharton. My dad went to Wharton. Tough school. All Trumps kids went to Wharton.

 

[JohnQuixote]

Warren Buffet attended Wharton School but didn't graduate there. Still, between he and Trump this is a good omen for Ashley.

Say Kaleigh, perhaps there are many shiny and blingful mother's days in your future!

 

[Kaleigh]

Haha I just said to her when she makes it big in the world to remember dear old mom, haha.

 

[Mara]

YAY!!!

I''m so glad those roses didn''t have to go in the trash, congrast to Ashley and your whole family, and to you for being such a great Mom!! Enjoy the bubbly, ladies!

 

[crafftygrrl]

Congrats,

Penn is a GREAT school. It''s a real achievement to get in. I wish you and your family all the best!!!!

Kaleigh

[Kaili]

Enjoy the celebration!

 

[Kaleigh]

Thanks Claudia, DF and Kaili. Her best friend got in also and they are off tomorrow after school to buy sweat shirts etc... I said make sure you buy me one!!!

 

[Sundial]

Congratulations Lisa, that is SO exciting for your daughter. What a thrilling time in her life (and yours).

 

[flopkins]

how awesome!!!!!!!! congrats!!!! I got in for grad school and decided to stay on the west coast instead but I''ve always felt an affinity for the school since then!!! It''s such a beautiful campus and two of my grad school friends did their undergrad there!

 

[MissGotRocks]

Congratulations to you and Ashley! It is always so exciting to see them get into the schools they wanted - when my kids were accepted at their schools I think I was as excited if not more so than they were.

This will make your Christmas complete - enjoy!!!!

 

[Kaleigh]

awww Thanks Sundial, flopkins and MGR. She has wanted this school for a long time. She has lots of friends there and really wanted this school with all her being. It is a beautiful campus, and only 20 minutes from home. Maybe she will come home and do her laundry, haha. I can hope!!!

 

[Angel7]

I don''t know the whole back story but I just wanted to say good luck to Ashley and Congrats!!
What an exciting time for both of you!

 

[mrssalvo]
