Sorry for the really, really long post but I've been a slacker lately and haven't done a post for awhile, and now there are all these things I want to post so I figured I'd just combine em.
This is at my Pinning ceremony, which is a tradition for nursing schools when you graduate. It was really fun because it was just dedicated to us. It was different from the usual boring graduation ceremony (which will be in the spring and who knows if I'll walk then). But they did a fun slideshow and had some speakers. Then we got "pinned" and had to repeat the traditional nursing pledge. It feels so good to finally be done. It's been a long, hard road but believe it or not I will actually miss it. :) I love learning, especially when it's learning about something I love. I have made some great friendships as we've struggled together these last 2 years and will miss everyone soo much! I hope to keep in touch with all of you!
My wonderful fam who has been there for me and supported me through these last few years... especially you Nick!! :)
The "lamp of learning" that was lit during the pledge.
My cute nursing friends! You guys will make awesome nurses! :)
Rachel, Tam, me and Ruth!
Me and Naz after our last final. Time to celebrate!
NEWPORT COAST
It was so hard to come back to the snow and cold after 75 degree weather for a few days! It was so nice. The water was too cold to get in but it was still fun to just walk along the beaches, they were beautiful.
A Christmas tree on the beach- how cool!
Nick and his fam went to Disneyworld one day while I stayed at the condo to study- FUN! I wouldn't have been able to ride many of the rides anyway so it worked out.
One of Nick's all time favorite movies is the Nightmare Before Christmas. He loved the haunted mansion that was all decked out in Nightmare Before Christmas decorations.
We went to this tree lighting thing in L.A., where the special guest was Britney Spears. Deeds was pretty excited to be 2 feet away from her!

Deed's Fav!
By the way, for those of you who don't know... I AM 13 1/2 weeks PREGNANT!! We are expecting our first next JUNE and couldn't be HAPPIER! I can't believe I am almost already in my 2nd trimester! It hasn't been very fun being so SICK, but I'm hoping this phase will soon pass. :( We are so EXCITED and I can't wait to finally be a MOM!!

Bri, way to go with the pinning ceremony. We had something like that at the beginning of nursing school. Either way, it is an honor! Way to go! I know how hard nursing school is and I think it is awesome you are almost done! CONGRATS on being pregnant! You are definitely embarking on a new adventure. I'm super happy for you two. Who is your doc? Where are you going to deliver? Have a great day Bri.
P.S. I loved your pic you sent with your christmas card. Thanks for thinking of us.
Congrats you two! Or should I say three! Being a new mommy is a challenge but it's so fun!! Good luck with your new adventure!!
I am so proud of you, you are going to make such a great nurse and a GREAT mommy!
First, congrats on your new little addition. You two will be great parents. Secondly, congratulations on being done with school...graduation is an amazing feeling!
Holy Cow that is so exciting, congrats!im sorry you have been sick though.. no fun. ~tiana
Wow so many exciting things happening at the DeWaal household! First and foremost congrats on the baby, you'll have to let us know what you're having when you find out. Congrats on graduating, we're just on the beginning of that adventure, I'm sure it feels great to be done and have that over with. We've done Halloween and Disneyland twice but never at Christmas time, we're kinda Disney freaks, hopefully we'll be able to go before too long. You would have been able to ride some rides, just not the super fun ones :) Good luck and let us know how things are going.
