That's awesome news! Many congratulations to Delia!

oh WOW! She *should* be proud! If I lived in the area, I bet it would be so cool to watch -- as it is, let Miss Delia know that people she's never met will be pulling for her from the east coast!

I'd be happy to swing by with my video camera, unless that'd make her nervous. (You can always tell her that she can use the tape to study her style.)

There will be so many people with video cameras she probably wouldn't be able to pick any individual out of the crowd.

How very wonderful! What a strong and dedicated girl she is! It would be wonderful to attend, but I don't know if I'll be able to. Best of luck to her on the test in any case!

Well, I'll have been THROUGH your neck of the woods round about the end of May - flying to Wiscon through Minneapolis this year - but I'm afraid I'll be back on the west coast by the 30th... My best wishes to Delia - seeing what she's already accomplished I don't think this sounds like something that is beyond her ability. I'll be holding thumbs.

Best of luck!

Yay Delia!

YAY!

Please pass on my congratulations to her. I'd love to be there, but yeah... stupid Atlantic ocean blocking my way...

She's got every reason to be proud. This is so great!

YAY! That is awesome!

Congratulations to Delia!

YAY!!!! Wish I could come, seriously, but Minneapolis is a few, well, very many, steps too far.

SO AWESOME GO DELIA!!

If I remember right, the reason you first started her on karate was to give her something that se could be proud of, that was her very own. And then Fiona got interested, and then you did, and there's a lot of good things about having that shared interest as well, and no way to tell if one way or the other is better. But given that original goal, how great to have an achievement that's something she can be really proud of AND that she got there on the first try unlike most people *including* her big sister. Not that she'd gloat, I'm sure, but it sounds like the kind of thought you hug to yourself in secret.

All that hula hooping paid off!

Nicely done, Delia. I can't make the testing, but keep us informed.

How wonderful! That last anonymous one was me, too excited to notice I wasn't logged in.

I went to bed before you posted this last night, but I was thinking about her all day and wondering what the news will be. That's SO fantastic! I wish we could be there to cheer in person. *cheers from here*

I am soo very proud of her...what an accomplishment. You go girl!!

I can't be there but I know for fact Olivia would really like to. Olivia left to Wash DC this very very early morning with her classmates for 5 days via plane. Have Delia text her or call her on her cell with the fabulous news!! She will be thrilled to know!!

Please pass along "Congratulations!" from me & realitychallenged

Delia: YOU ROCK!!!

HOOOOT!!! I can't remember if I commented on your recent posts about her screenings, but I've been reading them and sending lots of good vibes her way. Must've worked. ;-) Anyway, YES, I would LOVE to go to the test. I was afraid she'd be nervous if all these strangers show up, but you mentioned in another comment that there will be a lot of people anyway, so what the heck. A Friday evening fits my schedule perfectly. Please e-mail me with the address and directions; and if it's on a bus line and you know the bus route, that would be bonus, otherwise I'll figure it out.

There are no words for how impressed I am with this girl. You have a lot to be proud of--and so, of course, does Delia. ;-)

A belated congratulations to Delia! That's incredibly impressive. I'll be thinking good luck thoughts for her on the 30th!
