I am so unbelievably proud of Nathan!
He officially graduated from dental school on May 17th (best anniversary present EVER!). We've had quite the whirlwind month and I decided that today is the day to play catch up. =) Nathan has worked so hard and it was great to spend the weekend celebrating all that he (and the other graduates) have accomplished these past 4 years. Nathan's parents came to CT to attend the graduation and I know it meant a lot to Nathan to have them there. Hilda and Saul were also able to come and support him. We love them and already miss them so much! The graduation itself actually wasn't as long as I thought it would be and some of the speakers were quite entertaining! It was a crazy weekend! We had a different graduation festivity to attend each day - there was a formal dinner, a brunch, and then finally, graduation. We also had to finish cleaning our house, eat at some of our favorite places one more time, and say goodbye to our dear friends. We had loaded up the truck the Thursday before so at least we weren't having to think about that! Anyway - here are some pictures from graduation weekend!
Gary, Carol, Brenan, and Dr. West
Here he is with Hilda and Saul - our adopted CT grandparents.
We caught a few of his professors:
Dr. Nichols and Nathan
Nathan with Dr. Arteaga
Dr. Goupil and Nathan
We took so many pictures of Nathan with his classmates - it was hard to decide which to include! Here are a few of Nathan's best buddies from school:
Jake, Marissa, and Ryan
Hisham and Nathan
One with all of us! Hisham's wife, Rania, graduated from medical school the same day!
Nathan and Maureen
Nathan, Emily, and Lauren
Nathan and Kyle
Jenni, Me, and Hillary
May 17th was also our 7th anniversary! I love Nathan so much! Being married is so fun - especially when it's to your best friend.

Woohoo! We have one more to go! Congrats to Nathan! That is awesome! Also, I have been searching through your book blog and need some advice. I'm wanting some classics, intrigue, something to make my mind go past ABC's and 123's and make me think a little. Any suggestions?
