finally.

Did you know that I graduated?

From Nursing School.

It was the hardest... HARDEST thing I have ever done.

It was one of the best decisions I've ever made, besides marrying my husband.

I met new friends, I studied, I learned, I cried, I felt discouraged.

We celebrated little stepping stones.

I questioned why I was doing it.

I almost quit... many times.

I was pushed beyond what I thought my limits were.

Now that I'm done I wonder why I did it.

I just feels right.

During my last clinical shift, I texted my husband and said I'm the luckiest person ever to help people who need help.

I felt so happy and thrilled and content.

I don't know why I am a nurse.

I couldn't have done it without a higher power pushing, guiding and helping me the entire way.

The future will tell why I'm here.

But right now, I am loving it.

I feel so fulfilled, and accomplished.

For sure, I could not have made it through without support.

My husband was so patient with me. He snuggled me when I wanted to quit while telling me I could keep going. He helped me study. He encouraged me.

He realized what I was doing. He also saw no other choice for me.

I couldn't have made it without my parents. Who celebrated with me small stepping stones. Who helped me financially, and who encouraged me to go to school.

I also couldn't have done it without support from my family and friends. For all of the encouraging comments, and for all of your prayers sent my way.

Thank you to all. For believing in me.

It was hard.

It was good.

It was so much to learn.

Learning will never end.

But I made my first step.

Our friend Jenisse took some pictures for my graduation.

Travis designed me some announcements. 

I feel weird posting a whole bunch of pictures of just me, but we're celebrating.
