grad photos

We had grad photos today. I felt like it was a bit early for grad photos, but I'm glad it's another thing out of the way. Another thing off my long list of things to do. Then my girlfriends and I went for coffee. It was so nice to hang out with them off-campus. Our lives have been consumed with school and all of the time we've spent together has been school-related. Today we were just friends. I liked that.

We've been friends since the first day of classes -- it was love at first sight. As we were chatting we realized how well we have gotten to know each other. I love these girls and they know me so well. I'm looking forward to them being supports for me throughout my nursing career. You can always use a friend who understands exactly what you're going through.

The picture above is of Kelsey. She's going to Ghana with me in 2 weeks. She didn't consider coming until earlier this year and I am so glad she did!! It will be wonderful to have a close friend's support throughout the experience. I can't believe we are leaving in just two weeks. We are considering starting a blog together specifically for Africa. I think I will post the same thing on both if we get one, but the other one will include her opinions too which I think will be interesting. It will be nice to have another perspective on things. I'll let you know if that actually happens, but I will hopefully be posting every few days either way. We'll just have to wait and see.
