Congratulations Boys!!!!

Thursday evening Justin received the email that he, and every other student in his class, was waiting for, confirming that there would indeed be a diploma in his envelope the next day as he walked across the stage to graduate. Shortly after receiving that large piece of information his entire family (minus Lanny and Mark, you were missed) arrived. We ate the best wings in existence and went to bed.

We all woke up Friday morning and went to the Cracker Barrel for a graduation breakfast and then headed out to take pictures before commencement. Justin's graduation was actually entertaining. All of us were able to give our full attention to the ceremony, except when Evan decided to start screaming at the top of his lungs because Chris wouldn't let him play with the cell phone. When he started wailing and it was so disruptive that the speaker stopped mid-sentence and looked up in our direction. Talk about embarrassing! A big thanks goes to Jared (Justin's brother) who came up the stairs to walk around with Evan so that I could pay attention to the ceremony and take pictures. Because Justin's father is a dentist, he had the opportunity of hooding him. It was a special moment to watch the man who has influenced my husband so much help him move forward in his career and life.

Having the opportunity to watch my husband become a doctor was so touching. I love him so much and I am so proud of him! He has worked hard these last 4 years and it all came together on Friday. Congratulations my love!!!!!!

Following the graduation, my friend Erin and I, put together a party for the mormon graduates. They are all friends and we hang out in the same crowds, so we felt it appropriate to have a final "harah!!" It was a huge success, and everyone had a lot of fun! We had a southern feast of Sonny's pulled pork, beef brisket, and Publix chicken strips. The food was scrumptious if I say so myself. :-)
We finished off the weekend with our family and some friends in St. Augustine.

Aww ... how sweet! :-)

We had a lot of fun playing games in the pool. Check out Walmir fly!!!

It was a wonderful weekend celebration of Justin's MAJOR accomplishments. I don't think that it has sunk in that he never has to go to school again, and even less that he is now known officially as
Dr. Justin Palmer.

Congratulations Sweetheart!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!
