the newness began about two weeks ago with a new haircut... get a load of how cute this is! i love it. i can fix it with a blowdryer... it's fast. it's fresh. it's h.o.t. :-)
a couple days after i got my new haircut, i got a new house. a fabulously cute 2 bedroom townhouse located in kansas city. i absolutley love it. it's brand new and absolutely perfect. i also got new furniture to go in my new townhouse. my couch is kermit the frog green. it's super fun. and comfy. i also got a matching chair. in addition, i got a new bedroom set, which i love. my bed is SUPER tall and i've decided it's a good thing my bedroom ceiling is vaulted lest i hit my head when sitting up in bed. there is still the concern over nosebleeds from the altitude...
then there was graduation. you know, medical school graduation. it came with a new degree, a new title... the day i've been counting down to for the past 4 years. man i'm glad that's over. the weekend was wonderful. i spent wednesday and thursday with my medical school friends, which was a fabulous time of nothing in particular. they are good people, and will each go far in life. i love each of them, and will dearly, dearly miss several of them. many of my family and friends made the trip all the way to des moines for the graduation ceremony. those that couldn't make the ceremony came to a reception the day after. it was a great time, and i am so thankful for all of the support and encouragement and excitement you all showed. i was glad to share the day with each of you.
jen came up friday night and went to the graduation banquet with me. it was a good time, and she got to meet some of the people who drug me through biochemistry, neuroanatomy, cardiology, etc... she was also a huge help in planning and pulling off the reception. thanks for coming, and for all your help, jen!! :-) did you doubt we'd look this good? it's hard to believe, i know. ;-)
my mom was probably more excited about graduation than i was. she was so proud. :-) thanks for everything mom. i love you.
my college girls all made it. meridith brought her mom, dad and fiance. skinner and dawn both brought their husbands. it made for a great reunion of sorts. i was so happy to see them, even though we had only a short time together at lunch after the ceremony. they are great friends.
tanner and mark. here are a couple of pictures of my two best friends from medical school. we became doctors together. i love them.
