Translation of reüssieren

I hope you could understand my last letter to you. You see, when I write in Spanish I am not very confident. I always question myself and each and every sentence takes about fifteen minutes.
Wow, great pictures. You are very beautiful and your husband looks very simpatico! The dog looks like Jojo. I will send you also more pictures from Baltimore, so you can imagine how our life looks here.
That is great. Thank you for the support (and for the compliment). Recommendations by universities are always very appreciated, as universities are usually more selective about external resources.
