Michael's Graduation

Graduation day finally arrived! After four years of very hard work, Michael graduated from the Southern College of Optometry. It has been so fun to be beside him in this journey and to see how much he has learned. I am so proud of all that he has accomplished!

We were so glad Michael's parents were able to come! (Check out Paul's wink.)

I love Paul's expression here.

Perfect family photo!

This is a throw back to Michael's white coat ceremony. Many things have changed in these four years!

Michael and his parents before graduation. Another perfect picture!

There he is!

Hooded, graduated and officially a doctor!

Best picture of the day.

Someone brought donuts!

Our friends Brandi and Robbie's little girl, Zoey! It's hard to see but she has an adorable dress on with a glasses print. I have to admit, I saw this at Target a year ago and almost bought it despite not being pregnant and only having a boy. Too cute!

All in all, it was a wonderful ceremony and end to our time here in Memphis. We have never regretted our decision to go to SCO and loved it there. The school gave Michael a strong foundation that he can now build his career on. I'm so proud of him for not only doing well, but excelling in school and graduated summa cum laude.
