School's Out!...Almost


Springtime means "end of the school year" stuff is keeping us pretty busy--especially since it is graduation year for Shad. Finally! He has done so well through dental school. SO a few weeks ago he was inducted into the National Dental Honor Society, Omicron Kappa Upsilon. We went to a really nice dinner at Trevisio & enjoyed a nice program where he & a few other classmates were honored.

We also attended the Senior Banquet, which was really nice, even though it lasted about 4 hours!! Shad won the Southwest Society of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons Award for demonstrating self-discipline, leadership, & dedication in the field of oral surgery. Shad says it just meant he pulled more teeth than anyone else in his class, but I was very proud of him. Too bad there was no cash award on this one!

With dental school wrapping up, Shad is moving on to post-post-graduate school, which will take another 2 years. But we are beginning to see a light at the end of this long, long tunnel.

Hooray! Congrats Shad! You have worked so long and hard on all this! You deserve to be recognized! That is awesome! How fun to have a special dinner for you too!
The next two years will hopefully fly by quicker, now that you're in a cute little home!
Congrats again you guys (Amy included for running a house without Shad a lot)!
Love you-
Trin
