A Hard Decision

As most of you know, I have been trying to get into the Nursing Program @ ICC in Rutherford County for almost 3 years and despite my hard work and the grades to prove it, I have been passed over twice. Based on this, Kojak and I made the decision to move back to his hometown on the coast of North Carolina in hopes that we would be able to further our educations and careers. It was a Very Hard decision. After we made the decision, I applied to the local community college in Morehead City and was accepted into their Practical Nursing program based on my grades and achievements thus far.
So, as of last Sunday we said Goodbye to family, friends and Rutherford County.
Below are some pics that have been taken over the last couple weeks.
