I can remember back to a time and season in my life when I was asked--What do you want to be when you grow up? My response was almost always the same--a nurse. When I attended BYU I took pre nursing classes--chemistry, physics, nutrition-- I opted out of school and into marriage, children and 10 years of being a single mom. Through the years I would still look into local nursing programs just to see--what if? A few months ago I found a local private college that offers a 2 year fast track RN program. I took the next step and passed the RN entrance test. Today I met with the director of the nursing program to make my name on the class list official. I left his office with a smile on my face. I recently read an article that ended with-- dreams are not age based--lucky me--I still have a few dreams left to live. Tuesday, October 28, 2008

A Sneak Peek
It’s a tea party! My Mom is turning 75 next January. To celebrate her birthday and honor her as a mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend I am hosting a tea party. The party will be held at my home in Eagle, Idaho on Saturday January 17th, 2009. I am hoping all who know and love her can come to share this special afternoon tea with her. For the past several weeks I have been collecting tea cups and saucers, teapots and table linens. I bought metal folding chairs from a chapel that was being remodeled and am making chair covers for them. I plan on having a photographer and lots of yummy food. This will be a special memory for all so, please mark your calendars--you won’t want to miss the party! Formal invitations and details will follow next month. PS. Think tea party hats.
