As life is quickly coming to a close here in Tacoma Washington, I have been thinking through the many memories I have made here. Many life events have taken place here, fifth grade through High School graduation, four years of college at Pacific Lutheran University, surviving Nursing School and graduating with honors, the first two years of my nursing career working with some of the most wonderful people I know…
Instead of writing a long essay about how blessed I am, I have decided to let these pictures say those thousand words.
