When I Grow Up

So ever since I was little I have wanted to be a nurse. Seriously. Don't believe me? I have drawings from when I was in first grade of nurses and doctors because that's what I decided I was going to be someday. Well, in High School I decided that I should probably made sure that that was really what I wanted to be so I went to get my Certified Nurse Assistant License. After I had my go at that for a year and a half I decided that that was exactly what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.

On Tuesday I was checking my gmail account and saw an e-mail named "January Nursing program 2011". My heart started beating like a million miles an hour! We weren't supposed to find out if we were accepted until at earliest the first week of November. I slowly clicked on the file to download the attached letter. I read Dear Sadey Chadwick, Congratulations ... I stopped reading from there and dialed Nick's number. I was so so so ecstatic that I actually made it into the nursing program! After talking to him I then proceeded to call just about everyone in my phone contacts list.

I worked till 5 that day and I could not wait to get home and give Nick a hug. This was so huge for not just me but for us. We dont' want to have kids until at least all of my schooling is done and this is a huge step in the right direction. This is what I came home to:

A dozen pink roses!

Isn't he the greatest?! After the surprise of flowers he took me to Texas Roadhouse for a yummy steak dinner. I am SO happy and feel SO lucky to be able to go to school in this age as a woman and be able to really do what I want to do. I'm truly blessed and I can't wait for January 10th to roll around :)
