Nursing Graduation and Family Fishing Trip!















As you all probably know I have literally been working my butt of in nursing school and on June 10, 2010 it all finally became real! I graduated the nursing program and can now be called a "nurse" !! Finally, I have been waiting for this for it seems like soo long! All I could think was "if this is what it feels like to have your dreams become reality and come true then I am not stopping here!" And I didn't, I have still been in school double time over the summer taking 16 hours which I know is crazy but hey I guess I can say I get what I want and it feels amazing to get something that you have worked so hard for !! I am almost done with my summer classes and then I have two weeks off to relax and then right back at it for the fall! I'm super excited!! My parents, brother, and grandparents flew in from Oklahoma City and Jordon's family also drove down for my graduation! It meant a lot to have to many people supporting me at my graduation! The next day I come home to a suprise party that my wonderful husband had put together with my best friend Brittni! I was very suprised; there were streamers hanging all over the house and food and wine and beer for everyone!! A girl couldn't ask for more! We all hung out and visited and then later that night Brittni headed home and me and Jord, Chase, my parents, and grandparents all loaded up some clothes, skim boards, beach chairs, and golf clubs and headed to Destin for the weekend!!! I have to say this was the best part of their visit! It was like a vacation within a vacation! We got to the hotel and then found out that they had what they call "the managers special" which is from 5-7 EVERYNIGHT you can get all you can eat snacks AND all you can drink alcohol! Needless to say we all enjoyed it! Every night we all played "chicken foot" which is a domino game that me and my family have been playing on family vacations since I was a little girl! The rest of the weekend we relaxed at the beach, the guys went golfing, and of course us girls hit the shops!!! Once the weekend was over we all headed back to our house and got things ready for the fishing trip the next day! We all went on a 6hr deep sea fishing trip and had a BLAST!! We caught 200 lbs of fish and had a blast doing it! We caught amberjack, red snapper, and spanish mackerel. We all had a great time together! The best graduation weekend I could ever imagine!!
