It's been 7 years in the making, but we are finally and officially finished with all medical training. (Insert crowd cheering.) Brandon graduated from residency this week and I am so proud of him! We had the residency banquet Tuesday night and it was filled with loads of laughter, hilarious awards, hysterical videos and a little bit of serious thrown in. I am very proud that Brandon won the "Resident Teacher Award" and have to say, I'm not surprised. He is an incredible teacher and really feels like that is where he is supposed to be at some point in his career. This past year just reaffirmed that.
We had graduation at the Air Force Armament Museum this year and it was really awesome. Who wouldn't want to graduated with lots of history and jets and guns and more surrounding them? Both of our parents were able to come down and support Brandon. After graduation we all went to lunch together to celebrate. My parents headed back home and Brandon's parents took the rest of the week off to spend with us here in Florida.
We have been to the beach, gone shopping, LOTS of eating out, a concert, played, slept, fished, and watched Cars 2. They left this morning and we are going to spend today with more relaxing, maybe go swimming and if we are up for it, end the day with some fireworks. It was a great way to finish out our time here in Florida. We have really, really enjoyed living here and hoping that we will be able to come back very soon.
Here are a few photos from graduation. Brandon's mom has more, but I didn't download them before she left. I will have to get them soon.

it sounds like it was such an incredible ceremony and we cannot wait to spend time with you all very very soon!!!!!
