I did it!

On May 6, 2010 I graduated from the University of Utah with a Master's degree in Nursing. I will be taking boards soon to be a Family Nurse Practitioner. I can't tell you how much this day meant to me. This day seemed so far away and the goal impossible at times to achieve.

I get teary eyed thinking of all the hard work the last 7 semesters have been. Although, I know my children will probably not remember this too much (I hope!), the ache I have carried from being away from them will not leave my heart anytime soon.

I'm so glad I'm done!!
