we have a nurse in the family & we call her SAM.

Sam is officially a nurse & we got to celebrate with her yesterday at her pinning ceremony.



Sam has been in the 1 year accelerated nursing program at Nevada State College. Talk about an intense program that alot of people couldn't pull off. They jam 2 years worth of material in to 1 year which explains why we haven't seen her much since she started. But, she's DONE. And we're proud of her.

Lucky for Sam - she's a genius [she really is one of the smartest people i know], she's got a photographic memory [which helps her be a genius] and a total math/science brain which is why nursing is perfect for her. She's ready to learn and to dive in to the medical world.

Yesterday at the pinning ceremony - we probably had at least 4 people comment on the fact that we look so much alike. Even got called twins. We don't see it but apparently her nursing friends do.

What is Sam doing to celebrate, you ask? She leaves tomorrow for Budapest, Prague, Vienna and our favorite city London. I'm just a teeny-tiny-bit jealous she's going to London without me - but she totally deserves it.

Sam: now that you're done - I hope we see you more. Maybe a craft night is in our near future?
