Graduation Day!

I can't believe that it finally happened! Four years have flown by and my husband is an official doctor! I can't even begin to express how proud I am of him and all that he's accomplished. It was such an emotional day to see all of the hard work and sacrifice finally pay off. We have been through so much the past four years and it was a great way to celebrate such a significant accomplishment. Congratulations Bryan and I must say you make a very handsome graduate!



The grad with his cute girls. Audrey was such a gem during the insanely busy day and Julia did well with the sitters. I was a little nervous about taking the baby, but she did so well and let me enjoy the entire graduation as she slept soundly.
Our little family. It is crazy to think that when we started this journey it was just the two of us and now we have a family of four. I don't think we could have possibly imagined we would be so blessed or how much our children would mean to us. I do believe in many ways this has been a group effort and we are so blessed as a family.My parents came to enjoy the graduation. For those of you that know my dad you can see that he has his D.G.'s on top of his head and his reading glasses around his neck. He's ready to face the sunny day and read any book at a moment's notice. Also you can see that we are all looking in different directions in these pictures. I think we had four cameras going at once so each person is looking at a different camera.
Bryan, his mom and Glen. We are so glad that everyone was able to come and support Bryan on his big day. Bryan's mom did such a fantastic job raising him. I also want to thank my parents for the support they have given us and for always being there. Our family has given us so much support and love the past four years and it has meant so much to us.
I totally stole this picture from Emily, but I am so glad she took a picture of everyone. We are going to miss all of our good friends that are leaving and Bryan couldn't have asked for a better group of guys to graduate with. Congratulations everyone!

The officially hooded graduate, Dr. Bryan S. Palmer. I didn't expect how emotional I would get! I was teary eyed a good portion of the night. I am just so stinkin' proud I can't stand it!
Yeah! We did it! We want to thank everyone that reads this because I can assure you that you have meant so much to us. We are so so blessed with such amazing family and friends. I hope you know how much we love you and appreciate all that you have done for our family! Now bring on residency and let's see what the future brings!

For those of you that understandably couldn't make it, here's a video of Bryan getting hooded.





And just because I can't help myself...
