@Shorty11 That's what I keep thinking about. I am going to talk long and hard with my mother to see how she feels about it because that's my mom, my lady I love her to pieces and want her apart of everything!!! But the timing of this thing is just so wrong! There's no way she can drive 4 hours to attend pinning then go back and drive 4 hours again. And a hotel is out of the question because we are doing nothing on Friday (no events) and my mother, although a nurse practitioner, is still not seeing the brightest days financially so I would never have her wasting money like that if nothing is going on. I can see if I can make a deal with one of my sisters. They live about an hour to an hour and a half away so I may be able to come up with something. It would just be weird to be the only one there without family, looking like orphan annie or something lol.

Dec 8, '12 by Racer15Thanks! I actually won two awards, so it would have been kind of awkward if I didn't go, lol. I was completely not expecting that as I never really felt that my instructors thought that highly of me, but I guess I thought wrong!
Dec 9, '12 by PatMac10,SNQuote from Racer15Congrats! I'm do envious and happy for you! Mine is on May 8th 2013! I can't wait!My pinning ceremony is today. Somebody pinch me because it still doesn't feel real that I really am done!
All of the stress, the loss of social life, sleepless nights...totally worth it! It seemed like it would never end when I started this program, but it really has flown by!
Mine is next week. Awesome feeling right!
