introducing dr. jeremy!!!!

as many of you know, a chapter of our lives came to a close this past weekend as jeremy FINALLY graduated from mcv after 7 long, hard years of studying. he is now officially a doctor doctor with his md and his phd. what a smartie pants!
-
we attended 2 graduations totalling 4 hours. friday was the medical school graduation ceremony where jer got his green medicine hood. he also got to stand alone in front of the entire crowd because he was called out as this year's only graduating md/phd student. the dean called him the epitome of a physician/scientist. his mom and i are very proud, though she was much more vocal about it during the ceremony. :) we're fairly certain we'll be able to hear her on the dvd we ordered for her of the whole graduation ceremony! saturday was the overall college graduation for all of vcu. the ceremony was scheduled from 10-12 but as of 11:28 they had yet to confer a single degree. with over 3,000 students we thought there was no way we'd be done by noon. but because only the phd students walk and all other degrees are conferred en masse we actually finished by 12 - very impressive. saturday jer received his blue phd hood, giving him two and me none :)
