1 Year!

Graduation was not the only very important event that took place on June 16th, 2013; Andrew and I also celebrated our 1 year anniversary! This past year has been amazing. I have learned so much and have loved every minute of it. We have faced trials and triumphs and I wouldn't change a single thing. I am so grateful for Andrew and his example to me. He loves me for who I am and puts up with my shortcomings. I am so blessed to have found him.

We decided to start a new tradition. On each of our anniversaries we will take a picture of us holding a picture from our last anniversary. This year's picture was a last-minute deal so it isn't as formal as we would have liked but our tradition has begun nonetheless!

We are so excited to see what year 2 brings!

I DID IT! I graduated from nursing school! Graduated weekend came and went and I was so blessed to have so many family members there to share this special weekend with me.

Saturday was the Nurses Pinning Ceremony. This was a special ceremony for only nursing students. We chose one member of our faculty to pin us and to continue on in this special tradition. The teacher I chose to pin me was one I had an instant connection with. I loved her classes and was very grateful she was willing to pin me!

Not sure what that face was about....

Sunday morning was commencement. It was a beautiful, sunny day and everything went so smoothly! It was perfect.

 What made graduation even more special was the fact that my mom, who had been attending Oregon State University for the last 8 years, was able to walk and receive her diplomas at my graduation ceremony. Oregon State's was the same weekend and my mom was not about to miss out on seeing me walk. We pulled some strings, talked to the right people and she was able to walk as a "guest"! She has worked so hard and has had to sacrifice so much. I couldn't be more proud of her!

This is one journey I will never forget.

Time Flies When You're Having Fun!

I have been so horrible about keeping up with the blog. So much has been going on that I think I have a pretty good excuse :)

We have been up to quite a lot lately and instead of cramming it all into one ginormous post I will try to break it up and separate it into a few shorter posts. Knowing me, it will still probably take me another month or so to get everything caught up.

Enjoy!
