Important Days

This post is long over-due for multiple reasons which I won't bore you with.  I just had to put it up now because I am just so proud of my sissy who graduated from Nursing School in May.  I'm extremely proud of the road she has chosen, not because of anyone else, or for anyone else, but on her own.  She decided she wanted to be a nurse somewhere along the way after wandering the globe for almost two years living in Hawaii, India, and Africa for extended periods of time, after graduating high school.  Her dreams are big and it's been hard (as anyone who's gone through nursing school knows), but she's come so far.  I've watched her struggle, listened to her vent, passed along text books to her, and been giddy in excitement with her when she succeeded even in the small things, just as she did for me when I went through nursing school several years ago.  I am SO, SO happy I was able to be there and celebrate with her and spend time with the family.  I just had to throw a few pics up here to brag on her to you all :)

Congratulations Erica!
