J.G. Moon, RN, BSN




Jessie passed her nursing boards and she is an RN now. A real, true, RN.
She called us this morning to tell us.

She called me two days ago after she took the test and told me that she thought she'd failed. Ha-ha! That girl.

Oh. That girl.

Well, here are a few pictures of her, growing up. I would go on and on about Jessie Moon and what a joy she's been as a daughter and a friend and for the entire world and universe but, well, everyone already knows that.




Jessie and her beloved Papa

The day she graduated FSU nursing school.


Jessie and Vergil, right after he surprised her by showing up the night she graduated.

So. There she was, here she is, living life the way she's always lived it, dancing, dancing, singing, playing, working, loving, being joyful.

And now she's a nurse.

Congratulations, Jessie Moon.
We're all so proud of you.

Love...Mama and Daddy

    Everyone swears they failed after taking boards. I suppose that's good luck. :)

    A BIG congrats to Miss Jessie!

    What a lovely tribute to your even lovelier daughter. Congratulations to you, Sister Moon, for loving her so much that she believed she could follow her dreams. Her eyes look wise, her smile looks confident, and her love looks smitten. A parent's dream.

    Joy, laughter and love radiate from those pictures Ms Moon. You must be so proud of her. You are the anchor of your family. You and Mr Moon have done a fantastic job of rasing all of your children. You should be very proud, and rightly so :) x c

    To All- Thank-you so much. Jessie is off at some river this weekend with Vergil at a big ol' going-away party for a friend of theirs and when she gets home she'll read all of this and she will be happy.
    Melissa- I love that you guys still love each other. That is one of my most favorite pictures ever. I am so glad you took it!

    Oh thank thank you, sweet blog family. I am so happy and proud and content to be an RN.
    But as dad asked, "So now that you're an RN, are you going to start playing music?" My answer... maybe. :)

    Hehe, it's job hunting time.
