GRADUATION!!!

The day has finally come! Graduation was a blast and it was so much fun to put it together and see how it all turned out. For the SLCC Nursing program the graduates have to put together a committee of students and plan and pay for graduation. While I don't necessarily recommend trying to coordinate planning graduation and study for finals while in nursing school...it proved to be a fun and rewarding experience to see it all come together. Below are some photos of graduation, the beautiful flowers we bought (and one that I took home, my house smells awesome!), and the award that I got. More about that with the picture. Thanks to everyone for their support through the past 2 years...especially to Graham for his patience, he was even more excited to be done than I was!!


I received the Spirit of Nursing award. It is the only peer nominated award and it was really exciting. My brother-in-law called it the Emmy for Nerds...I happen to take that as a compliment.


Getting my scroll and pin.



Graham lovingly refers to this group as "The Nerd Herd". We all studied together and each of their families came to adopt the group title for us as well.


The graduation setup. It turned out looking really pretty...despite my nervousness.
