White Coat Ceremony:
Today Brent had his "white coat ceremony". This is exactly what it sounds like. A day where the Dean of Osteopathic Medicine talks to the students and their families about the symbolism and responisbilities that go along with the white coat which Drs traditionally wear. The part that stood out to me the most was the trust and relief that people feel when they are ill in any way and the person in the white coat walks into the office. I thought how true it is that most of us intantly open up to and trust the persons who wear this "white coat". It was quite a neat afternoon. I was very proud of Brent today, it was like we finnally made it in, he will be a Dr! We had a nice time at the ceremony and then we had a yummy yummy dinner at Olive Garden. It was a great time. And I think that David and Shirley enjoyed themselves too. The kids were so good too. Tommorow is church, of course, but just to rub it in to anyone who has had Davids Turkey, we get Turkey dinner tommorow! :-) ! CONGRATULATIONS BRENT on getting in!

Grandma Tiffany: I'm envious of the turkey!
