Don't over prepare. Thank her, take your time to digest the offer, and tell her that you'd get back to her within 24-hrs. Do some research within those hours -- if think the offer is good, take it. If you think they could compensate better, let her know what revisions you'd like to see in the offer. Congratulations and good luck! Do not forget to celebrate once you're through!
