Nursing student no more!

It's no secret to anyone that nursing school was one of the craziest/best/hardest ideas I've ever had.  I wondered throughout the program, more times than not, what the heck I was doing there and if it would ever be worth all the pain and tears - no joke.  Well, I did it - I graduated on May 11 and it was one of the happiest/proudest moments of my life.

I truly believe that prayer and God's grace are the only explanations for how I completed this program!  That...and my AMAZING husband, parents, in-laws and friends (who all have 2-3 children of their own!) who pitched in to help me, sometimes on an hours notice.  You know who you are and I love you all. 

Here are some pictures from the evening....it was such a great ending to the longest 3 years of my life - hehehe.

My lovely family and the greatest blessings!

Mom and Dad - couldn't have done it without them!

Sweet Sienna.

Almost time to get sashed.

Amber, my lifeline throughout the program.

Our study group.  These girls will be amazing nurses.
