Getting ready
I love my cute mom and dad!
I also can't get enough of this jack-o-latern smile!
Ceremony time
Presenting our class gift to Dr. Molen and Co.
Meanwhile...
Waiting to receive our diplomas
Yahooo!
And immediately following me walking across the stage this little girl was DONE!
This is how she got to spend her time, while the rest of us were locked inside (haha)!
Celebrating with dinner!
We put the crazy horse (Liv) to bed and went out for din-din with my fam.
The original plan was to take her with us, but man oh man. She was not havin it. Thank goodness for good neighbors!
Two of my sistees
And its over. I still don't know if I can believe it. Twenty months of Dental Hygiene school is over.
No more clinic 3 times a week, no more waking up early and sneaking out of the house so as not to wake my sleeping baby and husband, no more sitting so long in a classroom that my bum becomes numb, no more PE's, no more papers, no more group projects, no more staying up til midnight to study!!! I am so grateful for my family who is always there for me. My sister Carrie and her family for always being willing to come and be my patient on short notice. My in-laws for their support and help with Olivia. My husband for listening to me cry and have nervous breakdowns/anxiety attacks on a regular basis. And for still loving me and doing everything in his power to help me. I know I know, I'm not accepting an Academy Award so I'll just stop there. But I really am incredibly grateful ALL of my friends and family who supported me through this crazy time!
Although it seemed like it would never ever end, it did. And we did it!
And I am SO happy!

Your academy speech was much better then mine. I wrote two sentences and I felt like I'd been talking for years.. wait until I graduate. I'll probably talk for days thanking people.
I can't believe you really do it (well, I can) but seriously.. it seems like we have been dreaming of graduation since the first time we ever had a chat on facebook.. YOU DID IT.. YAYAYYAYA.
CONGRATULATIONS! You are awesome, I never could have done what you have. Enjoy your new found freedom and basking in the awesomeness of your accomplishments!
