Hello all:

Sorry for the lengthy vacation from blogging. As all of you know I am finishing up my final semester of nursing school at the University of Alabama. What a journey that has been. One I'm not sure I would start over now knowing all I know. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love nursing and taking care of people, but...it has been one of the hardest things I have ever done. Yes the rewards will be worth it I'm sure, but I feel like my brain will explode at any minute. It has tried my mind, my body and my family as well. Honestly, I didn't know if Robert would survive. He has had to become a different person in the last 2 1/2 years. He has risen to the occasion though. He has been my strength so many times. We know that this is God's plan for my life and our lives together. God has been working so obviously since the beginning. He really does want me to  be a nurse. There were times I wondered, I admit that but it is finally finished. What a feeling to know that. Praise God for His power to bring me through it all. I am finally about to fulfill the purpose for my life. Actually I have alot of purposes: a wife, mother, and friend to mention a few. I am just so thankful that God has allowed me to come this far and see the light at the end of my long tunnel. Thanks to everyone who helped in any way. Your prayers brought me thru. My graduation is May 9 and you better believe I am walking to get that diploma. God bless you all,
