Finally, it's over!

After 12 years of public education, 5 years of collage, a one year sibatical, a year internship, and another year sibatical I have finally taken the RD test (to become a Registered Dietitian).

The results.... "Congratulations! You have passed the Registration Examination for Registered Dietitians."

Yeah!!!! Now you get to hear the speech that I would give if this were an Academy Award.

I'd like to give a special thanks to Aaron for all his support, encouragement and for entertaining Eli so I could study. Also, thank you for being a worthy priesthood holder so I could receive a blessing.

Thanks Mom and Dad and Dad and Joanne for your prayers, words of encouragement, and never ending questions that made it so I wouldn't procrastinate it longer than I did.

Thanks siblings for all your wishes of good luck.

Thanks Jill for co-miserating with me during our internships, encouraging me after she passed the test herself, and for emailing study materials that somehow missed the copy machine when we copied them last summer.

Thanks Lisa and Tanya for babysitting Eli while I took the test.

I love you all! Now I can work or not if I want because I FINALLY have "R.D." status with initials at the end and everything.
