Family Medicine Residency Graduation June 2011

Everyone has been so overwhelmingly encouraging in sending Steven and I congratulatory wishes on his completion of residency. I don't mean to brag or anything, but I just had to have one more post about his actual graduation. The graduation was this past Saturday night. It's so strange that something which has consumed our lives for 7 years, that being medical training, is now finished. It was a bittersweet evening of saying goodbye to friends, colleagues and teachers whom we've shared this season with and grown to love. Steven's parents, my mother, the twins, and I were able to attend the ceremony. I was so pleased at how well the twins behaved during the 3 hour event. Berkley did get a little ansy at the end, but hey, he's only 2 y/o and 3 hours is a long time to sit. Berkley actually started shouting Daddy at one point in the evening when Steven was up front, but thankfully people loved it.

Steven, we're all just so proud of you. You set your heart on becoming a doctor and through the grace of God, you've accomplished just that. And now you're off to begin working in a community that you love, providing the medical care that you love, serving Christ whom you love, with the family you love beside you all the way. That's a lot of love! So many exciting things up ahead. I'm so happy to share this journey with you!

Here is Steven's graduating class!
I'm waiting on a great family picture that my mom took, I'll add that as soon as I get it!

That looks like an ad for Grey's Anatomy! (That's a good thing in my book, but perhaps not in Steven's!) Congrats!
