Family Achievements

This week is a week of achievements for our family. Our oldest daughter, who graduated with her BSN (Bachelors in Nursing) in May will begin her first full-time nursing job at a cardiac hospital. She was born with a congenital heart defect and her passion is to help others with heart conditions. She will also begin work toward her Masters degree in the Nurse Practitioner program later this month. In addition, she holds a Health and Human Services Degree.

Our second oldest daughter (3 minutes younger than her older twin) passed her examination today to receive her Registered Dietitian credentials. She graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Dietetics and holds a degree as a Medical Assistant. She is pursuing a Masters Degree in Dietetics. She is very excited to have this examination behind her. She is employed by a large retirement center.

Our youngest daughter (15 months younger than our twins) is in the last month of her pregnancy with Lil Man. These nine months have flown by. She has a Bachelors Degree in Marketing and is pursuing a Masters Degree in Leadership Development. She is employed by a national multi-media company.

I am proud of our daughters and their achievements are especially meaningful to me as I home schooled all of them from elementary school through their high school graduation. Home schooling required many sacrifices for me but it has paid off in the long run as I watch the girls succeed in so many areas of their lives.
