June 20th marks the day my two sisters graduated from nursing school as registered nurses. It really is a big day!

Ready for the festivities to start!

The both decided to attend the nursing school at Seattle Central Community College at the same time. They were almost going to be in different cohorts but switched at the last minute so they were in the same classes for the past few years. They enjoyed being able to share classes, especially the last half a year where they discovered they could just send one to class and share the notes later… Cheaters.

Alison pinned first

Kathryn pinned second

Lance and I were able to be there to witness the momentous occasion. It was truly an exciting moment. They had the option to be pinned by another registered nurse or have a school representative pin them, they naturally chose to be pinned by our dad, a registered nurse for over 30 years! He got to pin both his daughters! It was a little comical to hear the gasp as the announcer said “Alison Murray, pinned by her dad George Murray… and Kathryn Murray, pinned by her father.” The crowd thought it was pretty cool too.

One proud dad

So glad we could be there to congratulate them!

The kids together
