Bye Bye Nursing School!

So I finally did it! I graduated the RN Nursing Program! It has been one of the hardest things that I have ever done and probably ever will do, but it feels so good to finally accomplish this goal of graduating college! It was an awesome night with my wonderful family and friends cheering me on! I had Sayler and Ridge put my nursing sashay and pin around my neck, they were so adorable and brave walking across the stage. The moment I saw them, I couldn't hold back the tears, just knowing all that they have been through these past 2 years. Their sweet little pleas for me to not go to work or school and stay home with them. They are still to young and innocent to understand why I had to be gone so much and that I was doing this so they could have a better life. They have literally almost been without a mommy these last couple of years, but have taken it so well and have been almost perfect children. Next is my fiance John, he has been my rock. He has been there for me on countless nights, listening to me cry, complain and completely stress out about an upcoming test or a 22 page "Careplan" I had to write! He would always give me the love and encouragement I needed to pull me through! He always helped out with the kids without complaining (we won't talk about the housework though lol), made dinner and ran errands and pretty much anything I asked him to do! Then there is my mom, she has also been amazing! My first year of nursing school I lived in Eagar and I couldn't have made it through that first year without her! She was always there for me and the kids. She is the the best mom ever! And finally to all my friends, thank you for all your love and support (and watching my kids), and for not giving up on our friendship even when I was to busy to respond to a text or a phone call. You all have been so understanding and I love you dearly!
