One Proud Daughter

On May 11th, my mom completed a goal and fulfilled a dream that she has had for a LOOONG time . . . over 30 years! She graduated from the Nursing Program at Central Wyoming College in Jackson. She will also soon take the board exam to become a Registered Nurse. It was such a great experience to sit in the audience and watch as she accepted her pin and degree. We're all so proud of her for hanging in there even when things got really tough. She's a great example to us all I feel lucky to be her daughter.



Doesn't she look great in her new outfit? My dad gave her the beautiful new necklace and DanaRae's family gave her a cute new watch.

Here she is accepting the Professionalism in Nursing Award, which is given to the student who fosters teamwork and a positive attitude, among several other things. I think she was surprised to receive it, but as the Dean was reading the content of the award, we were all thinking that it sounded just like mom!

Here's the award!

And the diploma!

Great job, mom! We all love you tons and can't even express how proud we are of you! We never doubted that you could do it and know that you'll also do well on the board exam! You've shown us all that anything is possible if you put forth your full effort! Congratulations!
