BIG NEWS

So, I think most of you that read my blog already know this, but since my goal is to eventually put my blog in book form and chronicle the life of my sweet little family I MUST record yesterday's event....

I GOT ACCEPTED TO NURSING SCHOOL THIS FALL!!!

I was not expecting letters to even go out until the end of April. So, when I got home and found a letter in the mailbox from my college I just figured it had to do with financial aid or something like that. I opened it up and started reading. It said the nursing committee was done ranking applicants and reviewing them and the were pleased to offer me a seat in the nursing program for this coming fall. The waterworks turned on immediately! I was SO happy I was shaking. I came up to the house and told my grandparents, still crying.

Then, last night I had like three nightmares that I had checked the box on the return letter to decline my seat for fall. Instead of sending my paper back in, I hand delivered it to the nursing department, and while laughing, told the director about my bad dreams. She opened it and verified that I had checked the accept box, congratulated me once again, and I went on my way. I'm still not sure it has sunk in. I have a lot to do between now and August. I have to have to get some vaccinations, an in depth health assessment, and my CPR certification for healthcare providers, but I couldn't be happier! Life is headed exactly where I want it to and I feel SO BLESSED!
