The second round is... Done!

Hi all, just a quick update. We got back last night from a week in Chicago and NYC for D’s final MT auditions.

Of course, this is our second time in two years to go through the audition process, and I got to have a long leisurely dinner with my first while we were in Chicago. Just seeing him in his element, thriving and happy (his Econ grade could be better, but we won’t talk about that) was such a pleasure. He is SOOOO busy doing all the music things - exhausted and happy about it.

It made this final whirlwind week with D so much more enjoyable. She went in and gave it her all in a far more competitive area than S (MT is insane y’all. Truly). I helped where I could. We had fun, saw some shows, and slept late some, too. And in the next month or so we will find out where she’s going to end up. And it will be fine. She will land somewhere - maybe her top choice, maybe not - and she will figure out a way to do the things that bring her joy.

And so will your kids. I hope you all find a few moments just to take it all in and enjoy this precious time you have with your kids. You’ve raised amazing kids - don’t forget to enjoy i!

Best of luck to everyone!

Congrats on being done! Good luck to your D in a very competitive field. That’s great you were able to see your firstborn, too. I just saw my musician freshman via a long, cheerful, newsy Facetime call last night and in a concert live-stream last week.

Congratulations! We will get where you are on Saturday, and even though all the travel has presented its challenges, I agree, we’ll remember it fondly.

Congratulations @BassTheatreMom ! I’ve enjoyed watching both journeys (your S last year and D this year)! I know your D already has at least one offer, so you guys are golden! Huge congratulations, and wishes for some big scholarship offers!

Congratulations @BassTheatreMom , you are becoming an expert on this! Good luck with the offers and scholarships and wishing nothing but the best to your kids.

Yayyyy Congrats and I’m jealous! We will be there in exactly 10 days. Can’t come soon enough for me.
