Nursing Pinning Ceremony

On June 13th I was able to attend my Nursing Pinning Ceremony. As some of you know, I got really sick the last three weeks of school and had to defer those weeks till a later date. So I technically have not graduated yet, but I should be officially done with school the middle of July!!! The ceremony was a wonderful time of celebrating and remembering our past experiences as a nursing student. I must say, we had a pretty amazing group of students and wonderful faculty who helped us a long the way.

Sandi, my mother-in-law pinning me. She is a nurse and I thought it would be only fitting for her to pin me :-)

Beach Getaway

A good friend of ours offered us a cabin at the beach for a little getaway while Matthew was taking some time off before starting his new job. The weather was typical Oregon coast weather but it was nice to get away for the stress of home and enjoy the outdoors.
