The one with the graduation (100th post!)

Hi all! As many of you know I graduated last week. Yep, I am now Nicole Choules, Au.D. or Dr. Choules for short! 9 years of hard work finally came to an end and is paying off! Here are some pics from that wonderful day!











So what are we going to do now? Well, we decided to stay in San Jorge. I don't know if I can ever leave this place. I heart the weather, our house, and our neighbors and friends. I have adapted quite nicely to the San Jorge lifestyle. It's very laid back. I will be working as an independent contractor for Dixie Hearing and Balance center a few days a week. I have also contracted with a company called Innovasis in SLC to remotely monitor their neuromonitoring technicians a few times a month. Its exciting that I get to start my own business! Its small and not a whole lot of risk. Just what I was looking for! Dev is also out school. He is working for Cambridge Financial. He is doing really well down here!

We have BIG plans for the summer! We are going to finally finish our desk, revamp the entry way of our house, finish our headboard, and travel! We have a couple of fun vacays planned- Lake Powell, the Grand Canyon, Zions, plays at Tuachn, and hopefully Yellowstone. I cannot wait! We decided that each weekend we want to go somewhere and do something. Even if it is just something simple like camping. I am finally free so there is no more school Nikki! I get to be carefree and fun Nikki!

That's so great, I can't even imagine the relief and happiness you must have. 9 years that is such a long time, you amaze me. I don't think I ever could have done that much school.

I am glad you are so happy in St. George, I hope you have a wonderful summer.

Kudos to you Dr! I am incredibly impressed and proud of you. You are an amazing person and St. George is lucky to have you. If you ever want to take a trip out to Nauvoo we have space for you to stay at our house. It's only a few hours drive from here;)
