A couple weeks ago Sam graduated from dental school. Yahoo!! He still has some requirements to finish up and is planning on being done at the end of the summer then it is off to who knows where. I am so proud of Sam and all he has accomplished so far. The whole time I have known Sam, he has always been in school so I can't wait until he is finally done!! It will be so weird with him going to a job instead of school. It was so nice for Sam's dad and step-mom and my mom and dad to come out for the special occasion. My sister & brother in law (Kelly & Kevin) were able to come to the graduation also. Sam refused to walk when he graduated at BYU so it was fun to see him at this graduation. It was also very nice not to have a ton of people graduating. There were about 200-250 graduates so it lasted about 2 1/2 hours, not too bad. Sam and I were talking about it last night and it really just doesn't seem real yet. Even the graduation is kind of a blur to both of us. I just remember when they called Sam's name before he got his diploma and called him Doctor, my eyes swelled up with tears. It was the first time I had really heard someone call him that. It is just so nice to see that his hard work is paying off.

This is my favorite pic so I had to add it in. I love how huge the diploma is, who knows why. I guess they didn't want to be same as the undergraduate's diplomas. I just love it.

I just love it.As for where we are going next, we are not sure about that yet. We are pretty open to where ever there is a good opportunity for us. It may be a little easier to interview out East so we may end up staying out here for a few more years. That would be so much fun for us to be able to travel around a bit more. We have really liked it out here and the area we live in now so we would love to stay out here longer.

Maybe the diploma people are in cahoots with the framing people. The bigger the diploma, the more it costs to get it framed.

Congratulations to Sam!
Sam will go through school withdrawals I'm sure! I love the big diploma. It cracks me up every time I see it. So cool that he is a Dr. now. I'm going to have to stock up on all the nerdy dentist things I can get my hands on! Congrats to both of you for making it through the last 4 years! What a great accomplishment.
Congrats to Sam!! Yeah, I agree that the diploma is HUGE! Maybe it's so when he puts it in his office/clinic people will definitely see it. :)
Congratulations!!! I really don't think I've seen Sam so happy before. This must be quite the relief. Way to go, Sam! You did it!!
WOOT, WOOT! Please tell Sam congrats from us! That is awesome- what an accomplishment! Keep us posted as to where you are headed- we will be in Hartford, CT this summer, so if you're still relatively close by we'd love to meet up!
