Bryan's Residency Graduation

On June 8th, Bryan graduated from residency!  It was a long 4 years--which followed a long 4 years of medical school and 3 years of college!  We were so excited when his big day finally came around!!  Residency involved several weeks where he worked over 100 hours.  It meant leaving the house on some days at 4:30 in the morning and not getting home until 10:00 at night.  Residency included call nights at the hospital in which Bryan got no sleep.  But during residency, great things happened to our family as well:  Jackson, owning our first home, and working really hard as a family to make it all work!

 

To begin the day, I made Bryan eggs benedict--which is our usual "way to go" breakfast!

Even though graduation caps weren't part of this graduation, I couldn't help but make some of these cuties!  Besides, Reese's are Bryan's favorite!

All day leading up to the big event, Jackson kept talking about going to "Daddy's grauation!"

Cheese!

Sarah was so proud of her Daddy!

Had we known the photographer was going to set up his equipment in front of our seats, we wouldn't have sat there!

Bryan's residency class--plus one of the spouses!  Ha!  When you work over 80 hours a week together, you become great friends, and he's really going to miss seeing them on a regular basis.

Love!

I cannot even begin to convey how proud I am of my husband!

 

Bryan's Mom, Dad, Nana, and my Dad all came for the big day!  Bryan's Mom helped out immensely with Jackson--which included taking him out of the auditorium for a bit during the ceremony because he kept yelling "Daddy!" and clapping even when he wasn't supposed to be!  But after Nana talked to him, he behaved perfectly for the rest of the graduation!  Nana knows how to work magic!!

Grandpa and Jackson

Way to go, Papa Bear!

 

Although graduation was at the beginning of June, residency didn't actually end until June 30th!  It was pretty hard for Bryan and his classmates to go back!  Ha!  One of the weeks that Bryan had to work was after we'd moved 5 hours away from San Antonio for his new job.  That was definitely hard for all of us, but luckily, the whole thing is over now!
