Con-GRAD-ulations!!!

We made it!!  It's official!  Brett is now, Dr. Brett Blaser.  On Friday, June 4, 2010, Brett graduated from Midwestern University with the degree of Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine.  I can't believe it's all over and I could not be more proud of my hard-working husband. 
The ceremony was absolutely beautiful, and it was so exciting to watch him receive his doctoral hood and be named a physician. 
Can you spot him?  Second row, right in the middle

SO proud of my graduate! 
Our family who came to support him - Brett's parents, and my parents, grandma, bro, and sis
It was so fun to have Brett's parents here for a few days to join in the celebration
It was a very bittersweet moment as we celebrated four years of VERY hard work, and at the same time said our last goodbyes to the friends who've helped us through these last four years.
