Ready......Set.......Graduate! (Again)

The count down is on! I not only passed the exit HESI, I sailed through it with flying colors! Tyler has the official count until Commencement (UTA makes it very clear that it is NOT a graduation ceremony!) and pinning. I have six shifts left my capstone course and then I am finite done for good! Really, all I have to do is show up for capstone and appear to make a good effort. But, of course, you know me, I can't just do something half way.......unless it's the community health "papers." I am so excited because I feel like this time it is for real. Everything is in place for me to successfully stand up and unfurl my wings and jump into the start of my life as an adult! I cannot begin to explain the emotions I have concerning this. I don't think I can put words to it. I have so much to be thankful for at this point in time. I am thankful for my parents for giving my room and board these last three years, for the clinic I used to work in for providing me with an education most people probably don't get to experience, for my friends who have helped me through the transition and held me when I cried. I am thankful for Tyler because he is my rock, my entertainment, and supporter. I am thankful for Mrs Hughes, who helped me land my first real job. I am also thankful for Joseph, Phyllis, Mary Kathryn and the rest of the Wesley crew for loving me and giving me a place to learn about God and learn how to beat Tyler's dad at Wii bowling. Woo Hoo World! You better run and hide, because I'm coming to get you!
