*****drum Roll*****and The Winner Is.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<p>Good Job to all. It was looking like Duke there at the last part of the saga. Congrats again.</p>

<p>Congratulations, B! How about a surprise all-blue dinner tomorrow night to celebrate? Blue gatorade, blue mashed potatoes, fish with hmmmm...blueberry chutney on top (or mash a few blueberries into cream sauce), blueberry ice cream...and maybe some chocolate cookies in the shape of tarheels? Oh, no--wait, wrong school.</p>

<p>YAAAAAAY!</p>

<p>What an absolutely fabulous choice! Although I know your son would have made waves at any school, I'm incredibly glad to see him getting a chance to live out his dream! He deserves it, very much so!</p>

<p>:D</p>

<p>Congrats to you and your S on his choice of Duke - NC is a wonderful place to spend a few good years. I have watched your trials and tribulations over the past couple of months - and you and your S have had quite a ride - but the outcome is AWESOME for all of you.</p>

<p>Take time to relax now and enjoy the glow!!! Don't start your 'to do' and 'to take' list just yet - you will have plenty of time - just one good hint for NC - a real good fan!!!</p>

<p>Again - CONGRATS!!!!!</p>

<p>Congratulations, berurah and S!</p>

<p>Now you can relax, berurah. One down, only five to go!:) </p>

<p>Berurah!</p>

<p>Yes! It had to be DUKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>OMG! Here come the tears ... of joy, ofcourse!</p>

<p>Congrats!</p>

<p>WhooHooooooo!!!! Even though I lost. Now you can relax (until the bill for the tuition comes, that is - lol).</p>

<p>Even though I never made Simba's list, I bet on Duke too!!
Congratulations to Berurah's Son. (Great Choice, even though our family may be biased.) :) :) :) :) :) :)</p>

<p>P.S. I was the one who lost on the Pope prediction. Jamimom was right on that one I think.</p>

<p>Berurah, congratulations. Glad it worked out.</p>

<p>Congrats! I guess JHU before the offer from Duke came through. If it feels right to him, that's what matters. He will be happy and so will you. Proud of you both.</p>

<p>Great School!!! Congratulations.</p>

<p>Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!! As soon as I heard your s. got all that $$$$ from Duke, I knew it was a done deal. I just never got to put in my wager. So now, I'll bet that he is going to have a fabulous time!!!</p>

<p>Made a decision among fine choices, long before I thought he would, and apparently without needing any visits (unless he snuck away and got them in while we all were busy betting).</p>

<p>CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Now - get the forms in early, take a break from all this, have a massage (maybe the whole family needs one), then get to work on sheets.</p>

<p>Yeah!! Duke is a great choice. (I love Duke, even thought I went to KU and they have beaten us in bball/tournaments.)</p>

<p>He will love it there!!</p>

<p>Congrats.</p>

<p>congratulations!</p>

<p> He's got a great 4 years ahead of him! </p>

<p>And what a wild ride it's been to get there!</p>

<p>Now relax and enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>I knew it, I knew it!!!! </p>

<p>Callooh! Callay! </p>

<p>A toast to the beamish boy and his super-beamish mom!!!!</p>

<br>


<br>

<p>Berurah,</p>

<p>Congrats! Doesn't it feel amazing to have the decision made????</p>

<p>Wow, and 9 days to spare. Congrats to your S and best wishes to him as he starts his newest adventure. Oh, and warn his fellow Dukies to watch out for germs. ;)</p>

<p>As soon as I saw the thread title, I said to myself "Duke".</p>

<p>Congratulations!!!! Time to sit back and enjoy it now.</p>
