Graduation Dinner

June 27, 2014

The last four years have been LONG and HARD!  There were times I didn't think either of us would make it, but we did!!  It was good to have Andy's parents come celebrate his graduation with us.

Proud parents!

Carla and Alpheaus

Andy's co-chief, Carolyn and her husband Ned.

They were excited to be finished at UNC as well.

The man of the hour!

He sure washes up nice.  :0)

I joined them for a picture.  As I looked through the pictures later I realized this was the only picture of both Andy and I that I have for that night.

During the dinner the chiefs gave a short speech.  Andy did a great job.  He shared a short story about each of his attendings and thanked them for all he learned over the last four years.

He also thanked his parents for all their love and support and for making the trip out to the graduation.

I got thanked as well.  :0)

Carolyn, Esther Dixon(clinic supervisor) and Andy

Some of the clinic and OR staff.  They all love Andy and thanked me for sharing him with them for the past four years.  

Our neighbors, Marek and Margaret, kept the kids for us while we went to the graduation dinner.  They have been such good neighbors.  I am not sure what I will do without them!

We have all come to love and think of them as extended family.  Thank you so much for all you did to help us make it through the past 4 years!
