WOO HOO I graduated from college WOO HOO

In October 2015 I started at WGU (Western Governors University) studying for my Bachelors of Science in Nursing.  A lot of things have happened between then and now.

Dahlia was transferred from Uni to Youth Village to GTC to her Dad's house.
Bobbie had a CT Scan, a Sleep Study and finally surgery for her tonsils and adenoids.
We bought a house (condo).  We moved.
I may have lost my mind a few times.
I know I lost hope a few times as well.
My family and friends kept cheering me on, and reminding me how far I had come, and how awesome I was.

I am super excited to report that I have graduated as of 1 week ago.  My final assignment was approved on Sunday 3-19.  Mt application for graduation was approved on 3-20.  I received my diploma on 3-24.  WOO HOO!!!

I stared sending out applications for jobs that will use my BSN yesterday.  A new adventure awaits me (and the Seher Gals).  I am a walking advertisement for not giving up on a dream.  It took me 20 years to finally complete my nursing school plans.

1996 I graduated High School
1998 I graduated college with my Associates of Applied Science
1999 I graduated with my LPN Diploma
2000 I graduated with my RN Diploma
2017 I graduated with my BSN

A whole lotta life happened between 2000 and 2017.
A marriage
A divorce
Moved from Utah to Illinois
Moved from Illinois to Virginia
Moved from Virginia to California
Moved from California to Utah
Had Dahlia (in Virginia)
Had Bobbie (In California)
Worked in multiple different jobs (see the list of moves above)

If I do decide to go back to school again, I am certainly not waiting 17 more years!!

Embarrassing Confession

So I have switched to working night shifts a few weeks ago.  I watch a set of siblings over night and make sure that they are medically safe during my shift.  They have an awesome set of parents!!

The other day I got a compliment by my client's father.  He mentioned that he always knows when it is my shift because I smell like vanilla, and after I leave the kitchen (where I sit during my shift) smells like vanilla for a while after my shift.

I didn't have to heart to confess that I smell like vanilla because I carry a spray called Unicorn Gold Pinch of Vanilla and I use it to cover when I have stinky farts.  Good to know that it is working and no one can tell that I was really stinking up the kitchen, and used the spray to make it much more aromatically pleasant.

Between the increased protein in my diet, and the increased vegetables (and fruits) I have noticed an unfortunate increase of windy-ness from my hiney.  Thank heavens that the Unicorn Gold works really, REALLY well at it's job!!

A gratuitous cat picture to make my blog post a little longer.  Plus my cats are pretty darn cute!!

Chikita and Saya both agree that the stairs belong to them, and you need the new password to pass.  The password is "Here's some wet cat food for you two."
