Yeehaw!

by

Yesterday I cried. I cried hard. I cried out of joy, excitement and nervousness.

I got my official letter of acceptance from Southern University of New York at Albany. I cried because it scares me. I cried because it’s exciting. I cried because I might have to move to New York!

I spent yesterday afternoon on the phone with Portland State and Oregon State making sure they had all my papers; they didn’t. I immediately emailed Oregon State the appropriate documents and then this morning I walked the stuff Portland State lost up to their admissions office and got proof that I turned it in. I will call them next Tuesday to see where they are on the “expedited” application status (since they lost the papers they are bumping me up to take care of things). Hopefully I get in to one of my Oregon schools and can stick around. If not, I’ll be near my LoriBaby and she and I will cause trouble.

MrE and I had a nice talk last night about “us” and sorted some things out. Neither of us are ready to “get serious” and so we’re going to just take things one day at a time and let things go. I’m absolutely okay with that and it makes me want to see him even more this evening.

This evening I am meeting with a possible new nannying family. I have been talking to the Mom (MrsCee) for about a week now and am looking forward to meeting her and getting to know her (and the two boys, MrTee and MrArr … and their dad, who is another MrE, but we’ll have to figure out if he needs a new name when that time comes) and seeing what their life is like. I hope I fit in there and can feel some security with giving my two-week notice at work.

I am a happy woman today. Happy happy woman.

    Wow, a big move there! No wonder you are a happy woman, but if I was you, I think nerves would have replaced the thrill by now :S
