[Lorelai and Rory are both reading in the living room. Lorelai glances out the window]
LORELAI: Mail!
RORY: Mail!
LORELAI: Hurry up! Where are your shoes?
RORY: I’ll get ‘em later.
LORELAI: No, get ‘em now.
RORY: Why?
LORELAI: Why? Because if your Harvard acceptance letter is in that batch of mail and you do not have shoes on, we can’t run off immediately and celebrate. All of our happiness will be on hold until you come back inside and put on your shoes. Is that what you want to put a hold on happiness?
RORY: What’s the difference if we wait then or we wait now?
LORELAI: Because we are not happy now.
RORY: Right, okay. [runs to her bedroom]
LORELAI: No laces, just get ‘em on your feet.
RORY: [runs back with shoes on] Let’s go!
[they run outside to the mailbox. Kirk is going through his mailbag]
LORELAI: Kirk!
RORY: Kirk!
KIRK: Good morning, ladies.
LORELAI: Is there an envelope in there?
RORY: A big envelope, not a little envelope.
LORELAI: Yeah, a big envelope means she’s in, a little envelope means she needs to marry rich.
I GOT MY GILMORE GIRLS BIG ENVELOPE MOMENT!!! On March 1, 2011, I sent in my application to Belmont University in Nashville, TN. Last night, on March 21, my family had just gotten home from having dinner together when my dad came in with the mail. "There's an envelope here from Belmont..."
I instantly started crying. This was it. This was the moment. And it was the big envelope. I got myself together thinking that it was possible that the Belmont advisors didn't watch Gilmore Girls and perhaps didn't understand the magnitude of the envelope size. Maybe they sent every kind of letter in a big envelope... I opened it, and there was a beautiful blue folder inside. I opened the folder, and there was a letter addressed to me. "Kylie Percival, Congratulations!" The tears came again. I was accepted. I am accepted.
My family spent the rest of the night together, laughing, crying, "woohoo"ing, talking about dorm shopping and roommates. The crying was happy crying, then sad crying, then happy again. So much crying!
So here is the first update of my journey to somewhere new, with new people and new places and new experiences. I am going to live in Nashville. It's surreal. Please support me in prayer through this journey! My God is so good.
