I'm officially an RN!

So it's been a LONG process at me taking my nursing boards and becoming a Registered Nurse. I was planning to take my NCLEX (National licensing exam for nurses) in December, but that is just the time we found out we were expecting, and the same time my horrific morning sickness started... so I ended up waiting until I felt better (which was going to be in April or May)- until I found out the Alaska state nursing board had misfiled my information under my maiden name and thus didn't "flag" me as eligible to take the exam until I called and got them looking for my paperwork. Anyways- after several months of waiting, studying, and preparing I finally took my test last Monday and passed! YEAH!! It feels so good to be done with that- as the exam can be very difficult and is the only way to start practicing as a nurse. As soon as my license arrived I got a burst of energy to start looking for a part-time nursing position, that can be flexible with my soon-to-be mommyhood and I think I may have found just the right fit. It's for Avante Medical Center and has 12 providers in all areas of health, including naturopathic- which I think could be very interesting. We will see how things pan out, but I am so excited to be done with the licensing process and onto living life!

One of my favorite wedding pic's

So, last Wednesday Ken and I went to a friends wedding- in fact the friend that we accidently met through- so it brought back lots of memories from our big day that I was reminiscing some and looking through our pics... this is one of my favorites...

It makes me hungry for cake though :o)
