The PINNING CEREMONY

I made it through the stress of finals, and February 6 was the night of my pinning ceremony.

I just want to thank Jason, my amazing husband, for his constant love and support. I could NOT have done this without all of him. Together, he AND I did it...WE graduated from nursing school. So many nights he watched the kids and put them to bed as I locked myself in our bedroom trying to study. He became the primary caregiver of our children for almost two years and did an incredible job--not many dads could take on this responsibility. I felt his love and heard him cheering me on as my instructor was pinning me. He helped make my dream came true on this night--I was pinned as a graduate of nursing, and I raised my right hand to say the pledge. I am a nurse...I'm so proud of this accomplishment, and I am so grateful to a Father in Heaven for my supportive husband, and for this opportunity to serve others in this capacity.
