School's out FOREVER!



I can't even describe how I feel. I knew that this morning at around 2AM the DOPL website would refresh and reveal if I PASSED or FAILED my boards to become a REGISTERED NURSE. I tossed and turned throughout the night. Waiting to see if one of my friends would text and nothing. My heart was beating like it wanted to jump straight from my chest, my hands were sweaty and shaking. My stomach was on a roller coaster ride, something I like to call "nervous poo!" But I was determined to stay in bed (because sleeping wasn't an option). I patiently waited for Ben's alarm clock to go off since around 2:30 this morning sleeping intermittantly in between. FINALLY the song started playing, my heart pounding to the beat. I turned on the computer and ran to the bathroom because let's face it POO trumps everything. Thanks to Norton anti-virus or maybe I was just holding my breath, the internet took what felt like 2 minutes under water to start working. And before I could even log onto the DOPL website Ashlee texted a big CONGRATULATIONS to me. Hooray! It's almost a Halloween miracle.

Here is to being a SUGAR-MAMA!

Ok, so you know how much I don't like leaving comments, but I figured this one warranted one. I'm so proud of you!!!! You are a great wife and will be a great NURSE. Glad we went through the last year and a half, but I'm even more glad you are done. I love you! I gladly accept you as my sugar mama!
