Lots of New Stuff!

I'm delighted to say that I graduated Saturday. Yay! I will be able to spend more time now keeping up on our blog and doing other fun things like that.
The day was great. My dad flew in Friday night and was able to attend the ceremony.
B and I spent the past week in Florida and it was one of the best trips ever. More on that later. Also, more on things that have gone on in the past 8 months (yes, I am that far behind on updating the blog).
I take my Clinical Boards on Friday (yikes) and then wait for my license to be granted by the Board of Dentistry. After that, I'll be a real working Hygienist. Yeehaw!

Getting ready to graduate

Excited to have my gigantic diploma

Jackie Singleton, the DH Program Director

The DH pin I was pinned with is actually on the lavender ribbon. The lavender color is the field of dentistry's color. The red & yellow cords are the honor cords for Summa Cum Laude, and the white thing is for Sigma Phi Alpha DH Honor Society. I don't know much about that. They just gave me the white thing and told me to wear it, haha!

For Mom:
The diploma!

Random things I got. I wasn't at the awards ceremony (I had to choose between attending the awards ceremony or lay on the beach for 4 days....I think I made the right decision)

Class composite. Can you spot the Curfew?

I can't tell you how excited I am to graduate and how excited I am for Brandon to do it next year. That will truly be a huge accomplishment! Less than a year away now!
