The pictures that I've posted only tell a very small portion of the story. In the time since I decided to create this blog, there has been so much that has happened. Our family has moved, welcomed a new nephew, started a new career, and a new job, battled illness, seen family and friends marry and divorce, grieved over loved ones, lost pets, but over all, grown closer as a family!! As I near graduation(sometime between May 5-12) and prepare to close a huge chapter in my life, I can't help but remember all the people and experiences that have brought me to where I am. I am so grateful to all my family that was always so generous with watching my boys and being there for them while I had to devote myself to school and work. Thank you to my friends, colleagues and girls at school who have encouraged me when I thought it was all too much. I feel like if it weren't for all experiences that myself and my family endured, I couldn't have become the mother, wife, daughter, sister, student, friend and nurse that i am today. Thank you to everyone that has helped me grow through this time!!
