On December 17th, Paul graduated from Nursing School. We cannot believe that he is finished. He will take the State boards in January and then officially become an RN. We started this adventure 4.5 years ago by taking an english course at night while Paul worked during the day. It took 2 years to finish his pre-requisites before he could apply to school. There were 350 people who applied to attend school when Paul did, 90 were accepted and 27 actually graduated. It was extremely difficult and they don't give to many second chances. Thankfully, Paul did not need any second chances, he did so well in school but not without a price. We were away from each other quite a bit and it was very hard over the last 2 years. We decided when we started nursing school that we were going to do it and that we would either finish and be able to say, "we did it" or get to the end and say "we should have stuck with it". Now we can say happily "WE DID IT". I am so so so proud of Paul that I cannot find the right words to express how I feel. He is going to be the very best nurse ever. It is only the beginning and we have great things in store for the future but right now we are wallowing in our happiness that the first phase is finished. Honey, thank you for making this huge sacrifice over the last few years, Molly and I love you with all of our hearts.
