Whitecoat ceremony

So when I said we hadn't had anything interesting going on around here, I totally spaced it that we just had Kevin's whitecoat ceremony last week. This was a pretty neat ceremony they held at his school where the entire class was recognized and given their new pharmacist lab coats. A pharmacist representative put the coat on them and then they shook hands with the dean. Then the class repeated the pharmacist pledge and oath, which was pretty neat to hear. You don't really think much about pharmacist doing what doctors do, but the oath said a lot about their commitment to the welfare of humanity and relief of suffering. It was pretty neat and we couldn't be prouder of our Kevin!! I only wish that we weren't so far away so some of our family could have been here to see Kevin on his special day. He's been working really hard for the past 3 weeks at school and I know that Kevin will be a great student and future pharmacist. We love you babe!

This is Kevin's Utah friend, Cort Welker. He's married and a really nice guy, and one of the only other white guys in Kevin's class. Naturally they have become good buddies.

Hey it's me again. :) Just wanted to let you know I forwarded your e-mail to Shannon. And I do wish we could still live by each other. There are some pretty cool people around us now but I don't feel nearly as close or they are as cool as you guys and our friends we met at Sunset Ridge. I am grateful for blogs though because I don't think I would be able to stay in touch as well with out them. It makes the world a lot smaller to me. It is great seeing how you guys are doing.

How exciting! I'm so glad things are working out for you! Have fun in California for the next little while; who knows-maybe we'll make it out there to visit you one day. Kassidy is so big too! She's such a cutie. Hope all is well!
