It's Finally Over!!!

Last night was my pinning ceremony and this morning was my graduation. I took my camera but no one got good pictures. I wish I had some good pictures to post, but I have none of me on stage, and just a few of me with other people. But never fear! I'll post them!
In order of appearance is Michelle Phillips, Sandra Payne, Josie Wampler, Wendy Thomas, Heather Self, and Yours Truly:

This is me with one of my favorite instructors, Carolyn Aguilar. She really encouraged me. Now she wants me to go back for my BSN. NOT!!

This is me and my sister after it was all said and done last night:

I had 13 people at my pinning. Doug was there, my son Doug, my dear mom, my sister Gerry, my step brother Gary, his wife Reba,my mother-in-law Elizabeth, my neice Kelli, my dear, dear friends Mary, Bucky, Lillian, Monroe, Justin, Tori, and Ryan. We were all going to meet somewhere to eat and Doug couldn't make up his mind about what the restaurant was called, and we got separated from Mary and Bucky and them. Lucky them. We ate at a restaurant called Puelos, and they bring you too much food and the prices are too high. The thing I really enjoyed was the fried asparagus. It was yummy. The rest was so so. I got in bed finally around 1:00 and had to get back up at 6:00 to go back to Morristown. We should have just spent the night. That was originally the plan, but we both had people we had to take home. But that's okay. To all the people who gave me gifts, I told you not to get me anything! But thank you anyway. I love each and every one. Even Tracy, who didn't get to come, sent me a gift card. I love you all. Doug and I went to the graduation alone. Just me and him. Can you believe it? My mom got me a beautiful throw with my name and stuff on it. Here it is:

This is kind of dark, but it's the only picture of today that I have that's worth posting. It's a picture of me with my "bud", Christina:

Bridgette sent me a picture of me and her at graduation:

And what blog of mine would be complete without grandbabies!?! My son made this picture of Billy, Shelly, and Hannah. I think it's adorable!

I don't have any pictures of Rebecca and Nicholas. But my daughter did call today and tell me that Rebecca's cheerleading team won 2nd place in state, now they're going to nationals. That means a trip to Wisconsin. That should be fun. Okay, I'll quit now. No more pictures. Have a wonderful day.
