I Graduated!!!

To all those who supported me and prayed that I'd make something of myself:

I graduated! Yes!

This is definitely a "two thumbs up" moment



The graduation took place in the Stephens performing arts center on Idaho State University campus


Here I am yanking my diploma away from Dave Martin, a faculty member. He thought there was some kind of mix-up, and was about to refuse me my diploma. I took care of him in the parking lot after wards.


My graduation face


My good friend Dan's graduation face. Dan and I are studying for the board exam coming up. He's got a Gastrointestinal job in Illinois. I am still keeping my options open (... no job yet.)

Us doing a big Toyota jump. I look like I'm a marionette without strings.


Seeing the future, and the future is us stamping out disease.


Dan had some pretty bad gas (in the back on the left). Tessa (front right) is not to keen on Brian (back right) invading her bubble.

The Jedi masters with Jabba the hutt on the end.


Brian and I in a man embrace.


Dan's family posing like a normal family. But they're actually crazy. All of them.


My family posing (we are all normal except for that guy in the back who just showed up to pose with us...) j/k, that's my brother Sean.


I got a picture with Miss Idaho!!


Our three princesses sat still for exactly 2.6 seconds for this pose.


Emily and Christy and happy that I graduated too. Christy is thinking about a clothes shopping spree and Emily is thinking about the snack her grandma is holding just outside of the picture.


I am officially finally done with school after 12 years of regular school, 4 years of undergrad, 1 year I'd like to have back from Boise State, and 3 years of graduate school at ISU. that's 20 years... and I still feel like I know so little.


Ahhh, the contemplation of the future and what is in store for us. Thanks so much for all the prayers and support!!
