Yesterday the best thing happened... Well one of the best things, along with determining my future of Redron and realizing blonde's have more fun. I got accepted! Actually accepted too, not like the movie accepted, which I have been thinking a lot about reenacting as I painfully waited for my envelope.
As a side note, conditional acceptance is like being told you can go in the bouncy tent when your ten as long as the twelve year olds don't show up. You know that eventually you will get your turn, but who knows when!
Any how, let's set the scene. I had just finished work, as I do everyday I'm not showing, super greasy but on the other hand smelling of burgers, and went to check the mail as I have everyday for the last two weeks... There it was, an envelope from RDC....
Now I have spent much time trying to figure out what a thick and thin envelope is. And which would I rather have? But back to this envelope... It was one sheet of paper I could tell, probably cheap staples paper, because they send out hundreds of those things right? Just plug in a different name... Who knows this letter could include a congrats to McLovin.....
I thought about waiting until I got home to open the envelope, but that would be embarrassing if it contained an, ohh better luck next year.
So I began to tear it open when Tam Tam walked in, one of my friends mothers. I look at her, she looks at me.... I awkwardly continue to slowly tear open the envelope.... Finally I tell her, "this is my letter telling me if I'm in or not!" and she is surprised I'm opening it right in the post office. However I had already thought this out... I would've broken down and tried to open it halfway home which would lead to potential driving hazards.
After this process (which in reality took more like two minutes, not the twenty I'm making it out to be) I finally see the word congratulations!
HOLY GEEZES!
Tam Tam gives me a hug, and I then go on to buy myself a vitamin water and lottery ticket (which I won $4 on). I think I earned it after those thirteen years of education.
Seems like everything is falling into place. Karlee and I have our house all arranged, and I've been practicing on my house wife skills at the golf course, vacuuming, cleaning and cooking...
I'm even starting to look forward to it all. But right now it's just pretty great to be accepted!
Congrats Katie!!
