Graduation

Well I finally did it! I graduated from NURSING school! I could not be more excited to be done! This has definitely been the most stressful time in my life, but also the most rewarding. It was great to have family there to watch me get my diploma. They have all been such a great support to me while I have gone through this.

I can't thank Joe enough! He has been the best study buddy! For the past little bit I have been studying with him at the library all day while I'm not in school. It is so nice to be able to spend so much time with him. I will miss seeing him all day, every day
Mamma D and Grandpa came along too! I love them! They have been so supportive!
I love my brother in-laws!Tom and John came. I had no idea they were coming, and so it was a fun surprise to see them in the audience!
I love my oldest brother JB and his wife Mary and their boys Max and Ben.

A few weeks ago I asked Max if he was coming to my graduation and he said, "Sarah, I've already been to your graduation before." He did come to my graduation when I graduated from BYU when he was like 18 months old. Apparently he didn't have an enjoyable time at the first graduation. I appreciate that they were willing to sit through another graduation of mine.
My brother Bart and his wife Collette make the most adorable little girls. Emily and Jane are a bright ray of sunshine. Their smiles melt my heart. I am so happy this family was there to smile for me!
I love these girls! Jessica and Amy helped make nursing school bearable. The 3 of us were constantly laughing in class. I'm going to miss seeing them so often!
I love my parents so much! Ever since I got into college they have supported me. They always pushed me to pursue my dream to be a nurse. I'm pretty sure that when Joe asked my Dad for permission to marry me, my dad said yes, but only if Joe would help me reach my dream to be a nurse. I hope I have made them proud.

My sister Suzanne was also there to cheer for me while I was graduating but I was unable to get a picture with her.

I take my NCLEX which is the state test for licensure on the 17th! I had a job interview already, so hopefully an offer will be coming soon.

To all my other friends that I haven't seen in a while because I've been too busy with school. I am sorry, but I can't wait to spend time with you! Be expecting phone calls.
