Graduation.......It's about time!

Well it finally happened......I graduated! Even if it was 2 months before I will actually finish classses and officially have my Doctorate in Physical Therapy, I won't complain. After a busy week in Lubbock, we had convocation (the hooding ceremony) on Friday and commencement ceremonies Saturday morning. Friday night we also had a dinner for all of my family and friends who made the trip to Lubbock to help me celebrate. It was a wonderful weekend, thanks to all who came. I also want to give a thanks to everyone who has been there to give me support and words of encouragement along the way, especially my parents. I couldn't have done it without all my family and friends, I love yall!
