It's official!

I passed my state boards!!! I'm a Registered Nurse in the State of Florida!!!!!!!!!!

Jessica Erin Sanders, RN


I am eternally grateful to my Father in Heaven and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I could have not made it through any of this with out the constant guidence of the Holy Spirit. I know my prayers and those of all of my supportive friends and family's were heard and answered.

Thank you to my loving, incredible Husband. He has been my biggest cheerleader! We both cried tears of joy when I called him with my results this morning. He even stopped by with gorgeous flowers ( yellow gerbers and white daisies! Love them!) and a card. Things are going to be so much better for our family because of this new career.

Another thanks to my Parents, my sisters and my brother. I have such an incredible family, and the best nurse in the world as a mother. My dad has told me I should do nursing since high school...I finally listened ...lol.

I tested on wednesday june 10th. It took me about an hour and 40 minutes and after 75 questions my test shut off. It was over. I was relieved and terrified all at once. 75 questions in the minimum and 265 is max. usually 75 means you either passed or you did really bad and failed. I had convinced my self over the last 48 hours that I failed...hoping that I hadn't but kept thinking.."what if?" Thankfully I was wrong and I passed =)

Thank you to all of my family and my friends. And to my favorite little guy of all.. my Bray Bray. This is all to make his life better. I love him so much. I had to sacrifice missing a lot of being with him to make it happen, but I know he will appreciate it in the end.

Special Day

Today our newest addition to the Sanders Family, our niece Brianna Kay was sealed for time and all eternity to her Parents, Chad and Debbie. It was such an honor and blessing to be able to be there for the sealing of their daughter. Her adoption was finalized last week, sealed today and her blessing will be tomorrow. It was such a reminder to when Faron and I were sealed and how our Family is eternal. I think I often forget when we are out and about in the world and those things consume us. It was just so nice to be in the Temple and to feel the Spirit and to be apart of such a special day. It has been a long road for them and I know that Chad, Debbie and Brandon couldn't be more grateful for their newest addition to their family!
* And a big special thanks to Uncle Issac and cousin Kenyon who watched Brayden during the sealing. Thanks guys!

Afterwards we had lunch at Perkins. Faron's brother Eric and his family came as well as Aunt Tina, Mia, and Kenyon. Of course Granny was there and some other special friends of Chad and Debbie's. The best part was that Faron's parents and his youngest brother Issac were able to come. It was so nice to see them!

At Perkins Brayden tried opening the emergency door and set the alarm off...FUN times!

The boys and everyone else continued over to Port Charlotte, and I headed back to Palm coast, because I am working Sunday and Monday. I'm sad I can't be at the blessing and spend more time with my in laws who I don't get to see very often . But I am thankful that Faron is able to spend time with all of his brothers and that Brayden gets to be with his Poppie and Grandma, and Granny! He's such a lucky boy! He has so many people who love him dearly.

(I'll add a picture when they get sent to me)
