Brett's Graduation Party

I don't have a whole lot to blog about Brett's graduation party, except that we had a really fun time. Mostly, I really like this picture, and wanted to share it with you. See?

Awwwww......

Such a cute couple.

Why thank you, I agree with you.

But seriously, it was a really great day and it was so much fun to get together with everyone. It felt like one big family and friend reunion, and we got to see many people that we had not seen since our wedding almost four years ago.

Here's our guest of honor:


...and again with his brother:


Then I jumped in there just for fun:


Brett's mom & Melissa, the blogger behind Darby's Daily. I'm sure Darby would blog herself if only she had thumbs:


And Brett with Melissa's husband Glenn:

It was nice to catch up with my cousin Kellie, and I'm so glad my Grandma was able to make it:


And we got to see Karen! We haven't seen her in quite some time, either:

Here's Brett's cool display with all of his smarty-pants awards that he got for being such a Smarty-McSmarterson:


A big thanks to all our friends and family who came out to celebrate with us that day!

Graduation

Now that we have arrived in Arizona, I think it's time for me to update you on Graduation!

The night before graduation there was a graduation banquet. It was a great chance to spend time with everybody one last time.

We have so many amazing memories with these people. They were our family for the four years we spent at Palmer. Only a handful of other friendships in our lives are able to rival the kinship we feel with our Palmer friends.

The next morning began early with the awards ceremony:


Brett received the President's Award for being on the Dean's List all 10 trimesters at Palmer.


He also became a member of the Pi Tau Delta Chiropractic Honor Society for maintaining a 3.9 GPA and never receiving a grade lower than a B in any class while at Palmer.

Lastly he received a Clinic Award for his work as a Clinical Teaching Assistant in the Academic Health Center at Palmer.


After the awards ceremony it was time for the graduation ceremony. Here are all of the graduates walking in:


First he received his bachelor's degree:


and then he got to walk across the stage and receive his Doctor of Chiropractic Degree!

After receiving their diplomas they got to turn their tassels and officially become doctors!!



Finally, they all tossed their business cards, which is a Palmer tradition.


YAY! He did it!! :)


After graduation, the fam went to Biaggi's to celebrate.


More pictures of graduation can be found here.
