Abby received her first official college acceptance this afternoon.
The school that was wise enough to offer her admission was St. Mary's College in Moraga. It was, admittedly, her safety school (given its proximity to home and her decision to not apply to any UCs combined with the relatively high acceptance rate) but it represents a "we want YOU" nonetheless. (And as a total mom-brag, she was also offered a not-small academic scholarship she didn't realize she'd applied for.) So for a kid who (completely irrationally, mind you) worried that she wouldn't get in ANYwhere, it's a big deal. A sigh-inducer. A blessed signal that she can just relax and enjoy the last few months of high school because yes, Virginia, institutes of higher education WILL indeed want her.
And hopefully, that's just what she's doing right now with some friends because it's Friday night, and she went out.
I'm so proud of this girl. I'm sure other acceptances are in the works and I genuinely have no idea where she'll land, but I know she can do whatever she decides she wants to do because God has given her so, so many good gifts. And that's a ginormous blessing.
