I'm Graduated!




Well, after what felt like a long time and also like it flew by, I graduated from nursing school! I never thought the day would come and now that it has come and gone, it feels like a dream that never really happened!
We had SOOO much fun with all my family here though, my dad and grandpa got to see the airplane museum, we got bahama bucks with me, my mom, Kels, and my grandma (who tried the dill pickle snow cone, brave woman, it tasted like a dirty old sock!) we went swimming, did lots of shopping and just got to hang out and talk, it was a blast!

For our graduation dinner, we went to a place called Joe's Farm, it was a really cute place to take pictures and we had a great time before we headed off to the pinning ceremony!

My family all left Friday and so I got to spend the weekend with Jaron's family which was so fun, we did more shopping, swimming, did baptisms at the temple, and ate at Tia Rosa's where we are having our wedding luncheon... It was so awesome but me and Jaron feel lonely now! I also really made him lonely cause I went to St. Johns Sunday to plan wedding stuff and I got my dress, YAY!

P.S. A big thank you to EVERYONE who supported and loved me through this incredible journey I have been on,,, words cannot express the gratitude I have for you! What a wonderful blessing it is to have amazing family and friends!

Holy Cow!

Do you see that counter over there on the right side? I am so excited graduation is almost here! I finished my clinicals working nights at the hospital last week, and let me tell ya I am in for it if I have to work nights, that is a little rough on ole Sharla! By day three of doing that, I had blood shot red eyes and I looked like death! I had an awesome nurse preceptor though that taught me so much so all in all it was a good experience. Now the hard part is gonna be to find a job... the market for new grads these days isn't looking so good, so everyone cross your fingers! These pictures are graduation pics we took for our announcements with my nursing besties... the invites were sorta expensive to make so if you didn't get one, it is at the Mesa Arts Center on Thursday, May 14th at 7:00 pm... In other news, Jaron turned 24 on Sunday, May 3rd... it is so nice that we are exactly one year and one month apart! I will have to post pictures later when I get them and tell all the birthday happenings... Life is so good! But we will survive the hot summer? I'm beginning to remember what its like and although I love summer, there is nothing worse than burning your arm on the seatbelt when you hop in the car!
