Graduation!!!

First of all, Thanks for all your votes below. It was unanimous! We were leaning toward Dylan Todd, but you all may have just helped in finalizing our decision so thanks for the outside opinions!

27 lbs later,(had a Dr. appt. today) I'm still hanging in there. I just have no idea how my mom did this 8 times! With all the back aches, reflux and not sleeping. . . I'm getting ready to be done being prego. We are getting so excited for this little guy, but I told him to take as long as he needs as long as he is healthy. So this pic was taken the day of Graudation at 8 1/2 months pregnant.

Graduation!!!!!!!!!!! I thought this day might never come, but it sure did and it was fabulous!

I graduated from the College of Nursing at the U of U on Thursday May 6th 2010. These last few days I have been thinking back about schooling for the last five years, and it has been adventurous, stressful, time-consuming and very worthwhile! The nursing program was very tough and there were days that I really did not think I had it in me, but dang it I did it!

Todd has been the biggest support to me! It makes me emotional to think of the roller coaster we've been on. . . riding our bikes to school at USU, reading each others papers, studying together and taking classes with eachother (he always did better than me dang it), eating a lot of top ramen and mac n cheese, hanging out with friends! It has been such an amazing journey and I could not have done it without all of Todd's support. He has been right there through all of the ups and downs. There were times in nursing school when I would cry because I literally did not know how I was going to do all I needed to do, and Todd would go print my notes, help me do assignments and just sit there and let me cry on him and complain. He even put up little notes of encouragement around the house or would write me a note telling me how proud he was of me. Although it will be really nice to not be so dirt poor, I wouldn't trade this experience we've had for anything.

Here are a couple more pics of some more amazing people in my life.

My nieces and nephews who make me so happy!

My Mom and Dad who have supported and encouraged me through it all.

Cute Lauren who has been such an incredible friend (and first roomie)!

The whole Gang! It was so much fun to have all of them there and I really appreciate them being there for me!

Of course. . . my mom and sisters who keep me laughin!

It seems crazy that I'm done. It definately hasn't hit me yet that its real, maybe when everyone else goes back to school and I don't? For now, I'm studying for nursing boards and getting ready for our new addition, and not writing anymore papers! Yay!!
