Thank you all so much for your responses. I truly appreciate them.
Today, there was an addition to the story....another close friend of ours (also a sister) has also decided to apply to grad school, so there will now be 3 of us applying to the same school! (The school we are applying to is not where we went to undergrad together.) We are sooooo excited!
The irony about all of this is that we have all individually been contemplating this next step and we finally had the chance to talk to each other and we are all going to start the application process. I just can't believe all of this......
Again, thanks to you all! I think that we are going to need many prayers since we have much to do before the first of the year.
