the hood

Michael finally graduated from dental school, well, back in June anyways. Here are a few pictures from his hooding ceremony.

waiting beforehand with a few friends
THE moment
During the whole ceremony they kept calling the students Doctor and it was soo weird. I guess I have to get over that, he's not a student anymore!
The proud family.


A brief review of the past 4 years:

BYU graduation. (Riley is 10 months old here)
UW v BYU football
Michael's white coat ceremony (now he can work on patients in the school clinic)
cherry blossoms in the quad
playing intramural sports and finally winning a tournament and coveted T-shirt in soccer, but came so close every year in softball.
even played a few times at inner tube water basketball?
last day of dental school
and a final get together with a bunch of choice classmates.

The big day with all the family support. (not all are pictured here, thanks for taking the pic Patty) Thanks for coming!So proud of Michael and all his hard work. It was a fun chapter of our lives, with lots of family, friends and fun times in Seattle.
Goodbye student life!

Now onto Real Life Phase 2: get a real job.
