BIG DAY!!

So tomorrow is a big day for Shaun and I. We are finally graduating from college!! YAHOO!! Never thought this day would come.  Early this week we had my sister and her husband take some pictures of us, ones we could send out in our graduation announcements.
Here are some of my favorites..

 

olive is so proud of us! ;)

Olive looks so classy in her new outfit!

So thanks to Hamblin Photography, hamblinphoto.com, we have the best graduation pictures ever! 

They really did a great job!

Also

Tomorrow will be my 1 year anniversary with Hoopes Vision! I have had Lasik for exactly one year and have loved every minute of it! Thank you hun for the greatest present ever! So very grateful every day that i can wake up and go to sleep every night and have to worry about contacts!

But i do kinda miss my glasses at times. Glad i work right next to the optical department at Costco where they let me wear frames for a day!

I PASSED!!!

After two years of school work, 1500 hours of clinical's, 2 weeks straight of 8am-10pm studying, i finally passed my boards exam. I am now officially a Radiologic Technologist. WoHOO!

Seriously the best feeling in the world. It was about 220 questions and 3.5 hours long. And i used every minute of it. After getting my hand print taken every room i entered, i got to the computer where i would take this awful exam. On the very first question i had absolutely no idea what the answer was. Oh Great! HAHA.
But i ended up finishing the test a little early. So i reviewed my answers.. and changed about 5 of them. Wait what am i doing, you never change your answers!! AH! I was stressing! Time was running out. My heart was pounding, palms were sweating, starting to feel a little dizzy!  Finally time ran out. The screen changed. You need a 75 to be a licensed RT. And i got a 93!!??? (fist pumped the air) What in the world!? How did that happen? Wow good thing i changed those answers! Hehe..I get my official score in the mail in a few weeks so I'll really see what i missed, Shaun said i only missed 14 questions. CraZy!

We went out to my favorite restaurant, Olive Garden, with my mamma and sister to celebrate. Then we went to Shaun's parents the next night where they made me delicious scones and sugar cookies. You sure do get treated well when you pass a test. Shaun promised me a 30 minute back massage. Can't wait to get that! :)

It really has been a great two years. Stressful, miserable, hard, want to pull my hair out and cry, awesome, funny, exciting, strange two years. I'm just sad its all over. I made so many new friends I'm going to miss everyone! It would be better if they lived even the slightest bit near me, but nope. Tear, i will miss them!

So Shaun asked me if i started looking for jobs yet. What?! You mean i have to get a job now? HaHa But Costco is so good to me! And i just barely finished.. don't i deserve a break? Yeah that didn't work..so next plan i guess is to work two jobs for awhile.. blah. Costco/Radiology until i start the ultrasound program in the fall. One more year of school then I'll officially be done. WoHoo! One more year and I'll be rollin in the big bucks!

So i guess wish me luck on a finding a job. Secretly I'm hoping for a fun/adventurous summer, but if a job comes I'll take it. We really need to start saving for Olives college education. ;)

My Great Friends from X-Ray school.

Tiffany, Kathi (our clinical instructor), Cari, Shannon, Riley, Me, Ben, and Justin. 

Cari, Tifffany, and I were called "the 3 amigos". We went off and did many exams together and had some way funny experiences.

 Yeah for friends! I will miss you all so much!
