1. Mazel Tov!

Wonderful news! What a proud mommy you must be! :party:

[SeattleGirl]

I'm a very proud mommy indeed!

3. Congrats Seattledaughter

May you find a job you love and it pay well too. Congrats to both parents, you have got to be proud. :woohoo::woohoo::toast::toast::toast::woohoo::woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

4. Thanks, CC!

I'm proud as the proverbial peacock! :toast:

[Berry Cool]

5. Congrats to her and to you!

How proud you must be! :party:

I'm curious; what does she plan to do next?

[SeattleGirl]

6. Thanks Berry!

She wanted to start working on her Master's degree right away, but there were so many applicants who were so good, the choice of who to admit came down to splitting hairs, and she didn't get in this year, so she's going to get a job. She did a ton of volunteer work while she was in school including being a Big Sister, and volunteering at a women's center, so I think she will probably find something soon. She's going to try to get into the Master's program again next year.

7. You know...

If any group needed an on call psychologist, this would be it. :)

12. LOL! Perhaps I should put her on retainer!

:rofl:

8. Congrats, SG!

Sorry I'm late to the party. Hope graduation was great.

[SeattleGirl]

13. Thanks, Sharon!

It was great, but of course, I had a "mom moment" and NO kleenix!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

9. WOW!!! Congratulations to you, your daughter and family!

Cassie's only in the 5th grade. I got a looooooong way to go.
:applause:

[SeattleGirl]

14. Thanks, Gigi!

She waited to go; wasn't interested when she first got out of high school (shades of her mom!).

Believe me, though, it will get there faster than you think!

10. Congrats, SG!!!!

I'm very, very happy for her and you as well. It'll be 3 more years before my youngest nephew (who's an honors student) graduates from high school, and it's just like yesterday I was holding him in my arms when he was born! Time flies so fast, so I know the feeling. I pray much blessings and success for your daughter in her endeavors!!

:party: :party: :headbang: :headbang: :yourock: :yourock:

15. Thanks, RC!

My next-to-youngest nephew just graduated from high school this past Friday. I remember hauling him out of a drainage ditch when he was 3 years old (he LOVED to get into mischief), and that seems like yesterday too!

:hi:

11. What wonderful news!

Do you need any help sewing on buttons? :)

:party::toast::party:

[SeattleGirl]

16. Thanks, Rev!

I'm foregoing the buttons for a stretchy sweater.....:)
