APHON Conference 2008

I just spent a nice couple of days out in Albuquerque, New Mexico for the Association of Pediatric Hematology Oncology Nursing (APHON) Conference with Colin...recipient of this year's Certified Pediatric Oncology Nurse (CPON) Award. She is very deserving of the honor and has graciously accepted all of our hullabaloo around it. When we weren't at general meetings, free meals or concurrent sessions, we had an excellent girls' weekend. We watched "Sex and the City," visited Old Town, shopped and napped. All in all, it was a nice time to catch up with my now long-distance friend.
Congratulations, Colin!!!
Accepting the award and giving her speech.....without crying!
