Last Friday Troy had his White Coat Ceremony held at this Quaker Church. The ceremony is a rite of passage symbolizing the end of the bookwork and the beginning of his work in the clinic. It was much like a graduation ceremony. The professors and students marched in, there were speakers, the students were called to the front to be pinned, and then they recited the oath in unison. We ended up with a beautiful day after one huge rain storm and were so glad we could take pictures outside by the blossoms. Troy's mom flew in from Denver for the weekend so it was nice for her to be there as well. It was such a highlight, milestone day in his schooling. I'm so proud of him for doing well in school while always keeping Landon and I first priority. Doesn't he look hot in his white coat?
We sat in the first row after the reserved section for students and because Troy was with the "W's" he ended up sitting right in front of us!
