His and Her's Graduation

On Friday morning. we left our fort worth apartment to drive to Waco. It was pouring and nasty outside! We got everything together and left at a reasonable time but there was a good amount of traffic and the rain so we didn't get to Waco till 1:05 and I was suppose to be at the Ferrell center at 1:30! I did decide to decorate my cap for graduation and I love how it turned out !!! 

We ran into Stephanie right before we had to go back and then I got to wait in the line for a good 35 minutes. I sorta wish I had been late. Drew and Taylor were in charge of photography.

Stephanie and I - been friends all 4 years!!! 

Our caps- kinda dark :(

Love this picture! 

A true baylor couple! 

After my graduation, everyone was hungry but I had been under the impression not to make a reservation so I didn't, I called Sho Guns and they could get us in a 830, so that was our best choice so we went to Drew's apartment for a nice Sonic snack. At shogun's we had an amazing chef, who didn't just cook great but was such a great entertainer!

I love my mom's expression in this picture! 

For graduation my mom stuffed this jar with 1 dollar bills, such a cute idea! 

Love this picture! 

Saturday
My daddy took me for breakfast at Georges just me and him! I had a great conversation with my aunt about finances and the wedding but I didn't take my phone and ran a bit late so I came home to a very frustrated fiance. We got dressed and headed to the Ferrell center. Abby called me and told me that her car had broken down and could I give her a ride to fort worth and of course I said yes but that meant she had to come to Drew's graduation lol!! But we got to take a nice nap after Drew walked.

Perfection! 

Brothers 

I love this one! 

His grandparents! 

My graduate 

Best picture ever!! 

After Drew's graduation we went to Johnny Carino's. It was a perfect place to accommodate the 15 of us! Drew's grandparents gave me a sweet Hugs for Nurses books and a matching bookmark and Drew a wallet which he desperately needed! After dinner we had Coffee and Conversation at Common grounds. Kim brought Sparking apple cinder and everyone toasted us. It was really sweet!

I still have more to post no worries! Love,

Sigma and Pinning

So the last week in a half has been crazy!!!

Wed- All the family arrived and Dad and Kim brought a trailer with all of my stuff from the storage unit! They started unloading while My mom and I got our nails done , I got a french on my fingers and baylor colors on my toes with a paw print.

We finished just as it was getting dark and we were starving. We went a little Italian restaurant by our new home called Nikki's. It was really good. Everyone went home to there hotels and we went back to our apartment to get some work done because we were getting the living room and kitchen furniture on thurday! We drove back to Dallas around 2:30.

Thursday- I had sigma and pinning. Sigma is the honor society for nursing and we had an induction ceremony. It was nice because alot of my teachers and mentors were present.

The proud parents 

Grandparents 

Mrs. Prater - taught one of my classes almost every semester and has been a fantastic mentor 

Mrs. Bufton- She is the teacher that we were all scared of J1 but she is the sweetest lady. 

Mrs. Holub- taught my OB and High risk OB class- such an amazing teacher

Dr. Taylor- he taught A and P at big Baylor and it was literally one of my biggest accomplishments passing his class  

After pinning we packed up the remains of my Dallas apartment and went to the people I babysit house to get the furniture. We moved in the furniture and once again there wasn't even room to move in our apartment. We ate at cattleman's in the fort worth stockyards for dinner and I had a really good steak! I got two graduation gifts, One from my Aunt Rita and Uncle Jim a beautiful purple bracelet it matches my tassel perfectly and a neonatal drug book from my aunt Christine. 

and that concluded the day.. I will continue in the next post.
