Your daughter is lovely and congratulations to her for getting into the school she wanted.

The Colorado Springs area is very pretty with lots of nearby hiking! I imagine it looks pretty amazing from the air, too.

Yes I will have an excuse to go to Colorado. I have never been. I have heard parents can rent cabins on campus for cheap but that rumor is not confirmed. Either way I will at least go for parents weekend in September.

She's very pretty! Congratulations to her, and to you as well of course!! That's awesome she knows what she wants to do, many teenagers have not a clue when they graduate high school! I was one of the lucky ones, too!

Casey'smom- your daughter must be my age if she is in her second year of college!

ETA: my sister and I are a 13 months apart, so my parent's did the whole graduating high school in 2 years like you!

My oldest is 18, almost 19 first year in college. My youngest is 17, she is a very young senior, she won't turn 18 until October and she graduates in June. They are a year apart in school and 18 months apart in age.

Well I found out today she passed her breathing test with flying colors.

I have been weepy all day at work. My baby will be going away...
