Graduation


 Will came with me and acted as paparazzi, so this is one of the few pictures with him in at graduation, luckily it turned out great!  Thanks Blake for snapping it!  


 Figuring out how to put on the hood was a bit of a challenge.  One classmate took the name hood a little too literally and had the whole thing draped over his head.  Luckily our wise faculty stepped in to make sure we all looked up to snuff.  I put in a lot of hard work for this fancy piece of graduation attire, so I made sure Will photographed it in it's full glory!  


 Here's the rest of the support team!  Couldn't have done it without Mom & Dad!  


Blake & Stefi were awesome and added another stop to their vacation in the West to see me graduate!  


My surprise graduation present!  When I arrived in Ithaca I found a beautiful cedar lined chest that Will had been stealthily working on for the past 3 months.  I guess there are some benefits to living apart - makes surprising a spouse much easier!  I was speechless and even now I enjoy just sitting in our bedroom gazing at this beauty!  

See the cedar lining?  If you come visit us in Ithaca you can smell it!

Reunited at last


With Blake and Stefi coming out for graduation, we grabbed the chance to get some nice family photos and had a lovely night on Sauvie Island before graduation the next day.  We're so happy with the way they turned out.


I could not have made it through PA school with out the support of family.  Thanks everyone!

We decided that graduation with a class of only 36 is the way to go.  Graduation was personal and short - completely done in an hour and a half!  Next post to follow will contain pictures from graduation.
