Thursday was all about my beautiful step daughter, Lauren; who has worked so hard this past year and all that hard work has finally paid off! Lauren has got her place at uni to study diagnostic radiography and we couldn't be more proud!!
Lauren has completed a full time college course around a full time job for the NHS, a part time job in a wine bar and restaurant all while training and competing in the London Marathon and various races for life and raising amazing funds for charity! I want what she's got, I haven't enough stamina for a spot of exercise alongside my full time job - let alone all that!!
Lauren has worked so hard, given it her all and though there was no certainty in her place; given the fierce competition to get in - what she's achieved is simply amazing and we were so pleased for her when that email popped up confirming her place. (We knew she had it in the bag all along but she wouldn't believe us!)
We spent a lot of time Thursday celebrating with happy tears and just such a feeling of overwhelming pride! I went out for dinner (Mr B was away sadly and missed all the fun) arranged as a surprise for Lauren, with her mum and step dad, friends and family and it was lovely to get together and celebrate all her hard work.
My cousins daughter got her A level results Thursday and has done amazingly well too; straight A's all round are sending her straight to uni to study law, and we're off for cocktails tonight to celebrate! Well done Megan, we're all so proud of you too. You've worked so hard and achieved so much to follow your dreams.
Life is about to get so exciting for you both and the hard work will begin pretty much straight away I'm sure, but given what you've both achieved so far, you'll walk it I'm sure!
Much love, Sammy xxxx
