Glad to announce that for us, the patience has paid off. The ride is over, and we can relax and enjoy the season.

Son will be attending his dream school ~

may all of you find the "right fit" for you and your son! Enjoy the journey and have faith that good things come to those that wait!

I believe my one and only 06 has found and accepted his dream school also.
It's been a long and sometime's frustating road.
But with Patience, and a lot of hard work on my Son's part.
He will be able to play beyond HS.

Fungo and all the Poster's, I want to Thank You for Keeping the EH safe and Sane. With lot's of Group Therapy.

Being able to Read what people are going through are have gone through help's more then anything. Kudo's to you All. EH

VPM - A huge congrats!!!! That avatar is stylin'!!

EH - Congrats to your son too! A good reminder that the perfect fit sometimes requires more patience for some than for others. Make sure and let us know his choice when appropriate.

Congrats again to both boys and families!!

Thanks lafmom ~ you wouldn't believe how long it took me!! Was trying to resize one and then finally found one small enough! Thought it was just the right touch!

Congrats EH to you and your son!

I agree ~ hearing about everyone's experiences helps keep things in perspective.

Thanks Fungo ~ will do!!

Congratulations!

A ahhh, guess that must be an ACC !

BTW, the ride is not over, it's just beginning.

EH,
Congratulations to your son also!

CONGRATS to both of you...veryproudmom & theEH.

All the best in the years ahead.

Congratulation VPM. Looks from your picture that your son may be joining mine at a very fine educational institution. Hope he loves it as much as my son has! Welcome.

What I should have said, was the uncertainity of recruiting ride was over. And really, agree not over, just switching cars, so to speak.

It does feel good though, to know a decision has been made.

TPM ~ even visited "the paws", becautiful campus, terrific baseball facitilites, but this has always been his dream school, early, early on; I think even before starting school! And YES, most definitely an ACC school!

Thanks justbaseball and gtmom! I am confident that son will love it. Almost wish it was this year so we could get started, but don't want to wish away his senior season.

VPM - I'm mader than a hornet here, trying to figure out all the hidden meaning in these posts. I'm so frustrated, I'm getting hives. Can you bee more specific? Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go find my yellow jacket.

Beezer--settle down, man. You're starting to sound like a rambling wreck!

How'd I miss THAT one??? Clearly, my boy Woodrow has rubbed off on me. Couldn't resist.

Congrats to veryproudmom and theEH and their sons! WOOOHOOOOO!!!!

theEH - Didn't mean to slight you there....I had a "GotWood4Sale" moment and got sidetracked. Congrats!

The Woodman has that effect on people. LOL

You don't even know he's doing it to you, He just pull's you in
to his tree camp, and there you are without a meaningful thought in your head. EH

I believe that I just traded my Relief, for Apprehension.
Are they going to be able to handle the load???

Here we go again starting up that Roller Coaster.
I guess as a Parent, it just never end's.
One should have such problem's.

They could be in a war zone somewhere, Now that would be something to worry about.

Very true EH! Our worries as we send kids off to college pale in contrast to those parents! My prayers and respect always to those making those sacrifices!

I think you hear so many horror stories when kids go off to college, that it's easy to develop visions of beer drinking and class skipping young men. Fortunately, when playing baseball, our young guys have another set of eyes focused on them that are concerned about their welfare and success. It's a huge bonus in sending a kid off to college!

Veryproudmom,

Congrats to your son - and your family!!!
