I got in!

Today, Dave brought me the best suprise, ever. It was my letter from Mohave, in a BIG envelope!!! My hands shook as I opened it, and I could only read the word "congratulations" before I started crying.

Finally, finally.

What better place than at work, with my husband and all my friends to get the news? I think I actually screamed " I got in!!!" and caused quite a rukus right there in the clinic. Every time I think about it, I get all teared up again.

I got in.

Thank you, Lord, for giving me the strength to get through it, the power to believe that I could.

I can't even tell you how happy I am. The picture above is a blurry (on purpose) copy of my acceptance letter to Mohave's Fall 2011 Nursing Program. In 2 short years, I will be Angie Mack, RN. I have been working so long to achieve this goal--it has been life consuming. I started going to school part time in 2000. I started at SUU full time in 2008. There were a few looooong breaks in between. Persistance is key. I have wanted this for so long. Thank you to all of those who believed in me and encouraged me, you mean more to me than you will ever know.

This means that Drew will graduate from high school the same year that I graduate from college. What a long journey, for both of us. I think it was meant to be this way all along. God had a master plan all along. I just needed to have faith that He knew what He was doing.

Baloons from my good friend, Trish that I got to tie to my chair at the clinic.

I got in!
