Just got back from 5 wonderful days in Colorado with my best friend. A great way to start life as a "real" adult. :)

I got a new lense for my camera and so we took over 700 pictures...


Including some "Save the Date" pictures...


We tried on some bridesmaid's dresses and wedding dresses (sorry... can't show you the wedding dress)...


And then took a million more pictures of everything we saw...

I am officially a graduate of North Park University. All classes passed, all exams completed. WooHoo! And now the studying for the NCLEX begins.

Here are a few pictures from the big day...



Me and my lovely honored guest at the pinning ceremony...

I am officially done with nursing school! I passed my comprehensive exam (and it told me I have a 97% chance of passing boards). I somehow managed to pass all my classes... not sure how that happened. I don't have to be harrassed by these guys anymore...



And I'm staying here... and that makes me happy. I get to enjoy a Chicago summer and spend time with friends who are staying here and I don't have to say good-bye to my friends who are still in school. And I can enjoy life before I have to get a real job and work real hours.

And I get to visit Elise in Colorado and go to NY for Eric and Alanna's wedding and go to Wisconsin to stay with Judy.

And I can finally take a deep breath and relax!

One more nursing exam to go before graduation... and it's a big one. One I have to pass to graduate. I'm only a little freaked out. :{ Today was one of the last times I will be with my whole nursing class. And so I had some fun taking pictures of everyone as we celebrated the end.
