The last few weeks have been so busy. This week I have been going to a prep class for the NCLEX...hopefully it will help me in the long run. I would really like to take the NCLEX in the end of June so I can go on vacation with out it hanging over my head.

I will try to fill you in on what has been going on in our lives! I have a TON of pictures!

Pinning Ceremony - The pinning ceremony was pretty much to welcome us into the Nursing Profession.

One of my besties, Melissa, being pinned by her daughter Jessa!

Another one of my besties, Kelsey

All of my besties...Melissa, Jessica, Me, and Kelsey

Michael took a ton of pictures of us on this lion because according to him I  don't ever do anything "cool" like that. 

We went to check on the house after my pinning ceremony to see the progress...

We have hardwood floor!

Graduation Day! This day was great! I had family and great friends their to support and celebrate with me! Nursing school was a huge accomplishment for me, and a huge part of my testimony. Back in 2008 I felt like God was telling me that I needed to be a nurse. At first, I was like you have got to be kidding me. I could not stand the sight of blood, and nurses have to deal with nasty things. I thought I should probably listen to what God was telling me to do. So, I switched my school plan from going to school to be a florist to going to school to be a nurse. I was told how hard it was going to be, and that so many people fail...by so many different people. God had my back the whole time. He got me into Nursing school on my first try, when there were many people on a waiting list to get in,  provided for my every financial need, and gave me the knowledge and strength to get through the program. It was a hard and long journey. I am so thankful for the support that my family and friends gave me through the process.

Morning of Graduation

 A lot has happened the last couple of weeks! Last Thursday I finished Nursing School! It is a huge accomplishment and I could not be more excited. There has been a ton of progress on our house as well. It is now painted on the inside and outside, and most of the trim work is done.

Another House Update!

We have been pretty busy the last couple of weeks with school, work, and life. Next Thursday I will officially be done with college. I have two finals, and one presentation left. I can't wait for it to be over. A lot of progress has been made on our house the last couple of weeks. We couldn't be more excited.

We have a front door!

Starting on our roof.

A couple of weekends ago we took Gibson to the dog park for the first time. He was a little apprehensive. He really just wanted to be by Michael and I, or right next to Moose. Moose of course loved be at the dog park as usual.

There is siding! Most of the roof is done now, even though it isn't in this picture.

Most of the house is insulated now.
