My Medical School Graduation

Me and Chris at the Marriott where my graduation was held.

Me and my classmate and now fellow pediatrician! Hoping we will be at the same training program in the future for fellowship. :)

Mom and Dad with me just after the ceremony. Their FIRST trip to Iowa!

At my graduation party that Chris put together. I didn't have to do a thing! I was so happy to have 4 of my tias come and celebrate with us. Wish all my tias could have come. It was nice to have them stay at our place, watching them play paco. And they cooked and cleaned with my mom too! It was awesome!

The parents with me and Chris.

Thank you Tia Rosa!

Some guy came to my door this morning. I almost didn't answer because I didn't know who he was, but since I saw he was holding flowers-I opened the door anyway. Turned out to be a flower delivery man. Thank you Tia Rosa for the beautiful flowers! I feel your thoughts with me today on my graduation. :)

Just Because...

Last week I came home and Chris had surprised me with these beautiful flowers. Pink tulips. My favorite flower and one of my favorite colors. He bought them "just because" which was so freakin awesome!

So today I bought him the new Mountain Dew throwback that just came out and is apparently only being sold for a few months. I know he's been wanting to try it. It's made with "natural sugar" instead of high fructose corn syrup. I don't know what it means by natural sugar-but whatever.

Grad Reception Chris is making for me.
