Graduation Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!

HALLELUJAH!

I GRADUATED!

Me and Vicki

Let me just tell you!
There is NO way I could have made it through this program on my own!

GOD richly blessed me with an amazing family and friends to support me through this journey.

The first day of orientation.

I was soooo overwhelmed and wondered,

"What in the world was I thinking to do this crazy thing?"

At that moment, the LORD sent me a BIG BLESSING...

VICKI!

She has been an incredible friend and encourager.

We met frequently to work on papers, projects, presentations, etc.

Now when we get together it will be ALL FUN and NO WORK!

Jill
Jill is the sweetest soul.
She is another friend that GOD placed in my life.
Her sweet, kind heart reminds me of Christ's love daily.
I am so grateful for her friendship and example!




Jennifer
Well, Jennifer and I go way back!
We graduated with our ADN back... in the BIG hair days. LOL!
She is the one who encouraged me to go back to school and get my master's.
YEP! I blame her! HAHAHA!
After my unfortunate bicycle accident, I asked GOD,
"Ok, are YOU trying to get my attention? Is there something you want me to do?"
A couple weeks after that prayer, I ran into Jennifer.
She was teaching and Samford.
She encouraged me to work as a clinical nursing instructor.
So, I am grateful that she allowed the LORD to use her in answering my prayer!





NaNa
Well, she deserves this diploma!
I cannot list all of the wonderful things she has done for me to HELP me through this journey!
She has helped with the BLESSINGS, cleaned my house, cooked TONS of food for my family, listened, PRAYED, advised, etc.
Her devotion to me has been an example of Christ's devotion to us.
She has not wavered.
She has not complained.
NOT EVEN ONE TIME DID SHE COMPLAIN!
(I need to learn from her!)
I am eternally grateful for all NaNa has done for us!
I LOVE YOU, NaNa!!!!!

Greg is a good husband.

He has been supportive during this journey.

I know he is thrilled that life will not be so chaotic.

I am thrilled to spend more time with him and our BLESSINGS!

LOTS of FUN!

Easter

Charlie's First Easter Basket

No Worries!

He knew just what to do!

After pulling each item out, he would say,"Thank you, Mommy!"

HG

SH with her multiple pens!
For some silly reason, we cannot keep pens, pencils, or crayons around our house.
It seems like we have a silly little monster that eats them while we sleep.
I wonder if it is the same monster that steals all of the socks out of the clothes dryer.




My little man LOVES clothes!

The Blessings at Church
