The Long Awaited Day

On May 15th we were able to celebrate the accomplishment that was 5 years in the making! We were so excited for Brad's graduation from medical school. It definitely has been a long road for our whole family--I often tell people that it was far more work and more struggle than either of us could have imagined when we started, but we are proud that Brad made it through it all with a smile on his face.

I have constantly been impressed with Brad and the determination he has placed to meeting this goal of becoming a doctor, but also with his dedication he has kept to his family throughout it all. I have always been very pleased with the amount of time he has been able to give to both his family and to his studies. If he ever erred on the side of giving too much attention and focus in one area it always seemed it was in favor of our little family. I have constantly felt so blessed in this regard and know that it is a blessing that Brad has been able to perform so well in medical school while never neglecting his roles as a husband and a father. The girls and I are so lucky to have him and are so proud of his achievements. Congratulations Brad!! WE LOVE YOU!
