Graduation and DC! | Family Friday

—Katie King

[Editor's note: PJ and Katie took a last-minute trip to DC to celebrate her graduation from OU! While we were there we were able to visit Capitol Hill Baptist Church, home of 9 Marks. That trip has turned into a week-long series—Visiting Capitol Hill.]

Hello readers. Happy summer! It’s been a busy, exciting time for the Kings and the Krychos the last few weeks.

I graduated from nursing school at OU (praise the Lord!) in the middle of May. We had a wonderful weekend of celebration with both sides of our family. I cannot even express how glad I am to be done with school. Goodbye 80-hour weeks of studying! [Editor’s note: she is not exaggerating.] I have to say that PJ, Chris, and Jaimie were amazing sources of support during the last hectic months (and really, throughout the whole two years!).

Ever since March, when we bought our house in Fort Worth, we have been going back-and-forth between Texas and Oklahoma weekly. We are very glad to be able live in Fort Worth full-time now; no more school trips to Oklahoma! Thank you, Chris and Jaimie, for graciously hosting us during our extended stays in Norman.

To celebrate graduation, PJ and I took a trip to Washington, D.C. during Memorial Day weekend. We had a wonderful time touring the monuments and museums and had a really enjoyable day at Capitol Hill Baptist. It was great to spend time together before I started my new job.

This Monday, I began my pediatric nurse residency! For the next six months, I’ll be rotating to different pediatric units in the hospital, learning how to be a nurse and taking care of kids!

PJ is taking the summer off from Seminary, but he will resume classes (on-campus!) in the fall. We are looking forward to this one, last, school-less summer!
