Craig's Graduation

The main reason for our trip to Florida was for Craig's graduation from Dental School. It was such a neat experience that we are so thankful to have been able to be a part of.

Proud wife and son.

Kent was able to "hood" Craig as a dentist and that was a full circle moment. Kent was even able to sit in the VIP section. Fancy Fancy!
During the ceremony, I had a lot of memories and emotions go through me as I was back in the same auditorium at the same University we were at three years ago for Kent's graduation. I was humbled to think that the education Kent earned there is the reason for our current stage in life. It has given us the opportunity to come to Sunnyside and for Kent to have a comfortable job that he loves. Listening to the professors give their speeches meant so much more to me this time, because we've had a little glimpse of what they were talking about when they shared their experiences throughout their careers. Kent truly loves what he does and I know that Craig will feel the same way and I couldn't be happier for him. "Dr.", "Dr.", "Dr.", "Dr."

Craig, Cassie and Riley are moving to Dallas. Craig already has a wonderful job lined up and they have found a home to rent near Cameron and Anne (Kent's other brother). I already have it set in my mind that we are going to go to Texas to visit all of them this fall.
It's Great to be a Florida Gator!
After the graduation, we went to Texas Roadhouse to celebrate. It's always a favorite!
Ella loved the cinnamon butter there, she literally ate it by the spoonful. Kent told her not to eat the butter all by itself and she hurried and shoved another bite in her mouth. Who is this girl, and where did she come from?!

Great post! You don't know how much we all loved having you here in Florida. It made everything so special--and especially to have you at the graduation! It truly was like re-living the past when Kent and your little family went through the same thing. So wonderful!
