Last Thursday was the last day of school for the semester. Mimi, myself,aunt Susie and cousins Ethan and Seth went out for a favorite lunch to just pass the time. As we were eating, text messages started to float in that various friends were receiving letters from anticipated universities.

Our mail comes late however, and so after a long lunch it was time to go home and see if the postman had been to deliver our letter. ????????

Nope. He was late. As in about a half hour late. The suspense was killing her…ahem…us. As Mimi went to stand by the mailbox, I got myself a cup of coffee and stood at the 10 foot diningroom window waiting for the mail to come too.

I turned my back for 5 seconds and he came. In she bounded through the kitchen door waving a letter and yelling, "I'm in!!!!!"

Yes dear friends and family, Mimi has been accepted to Vanderbilt University!!!!!!!!

Oh we are so proud of our hard working girl. I think this calls for a little celebration pie. Mimi has been quite a baker of late and so she got right to cooking a newly concocted apple pie. We can't quite give out the recipe just yet. It still has a kink or two in it but when it's worked out we will happily deliver it here. It's really tasty though. To help her bake this wonder were her best-friend "No bake Stacey" and her little brother "O".

Way to go Mimzy.
