It's official: I'm a doctor!
Holy crap. I just read what I just wrote.... I'm not ready for this! School!! TAKE ME BACK! Don't let me go yet! I need more time! I'm not done learning yet!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!Sorry about that. Minor outburst of insecurity. Pay no attention to the apprehensive 5 year old running things behind the curtain, she has no idea what she's talking about. I'm back, full of confidence! At least I think I am...
Moving on....
I don't know how to put words to graduation week. It doesn't help that I was fortunate enough to go to 2 beautiful weddings for 4 wonderful friends before and after graduation. I was gone from home for 3 weeks....
That said, I'm just going to post some of my favorite pics. I'll put captions so they make some sense.

You got me tearing up over here! The photo of you with your dad is precious! And can I not jump up and down high enough screaming, "OH MY GOODNESS, YOU ARE A FREAKING DOCTOR!!!" I am so proud of you and absolutely amazed at what you went through to get there!! I mean goodness Alicia, our 10 year high school reunion is in like a month and you only now just finished school! Hardcore? Heck yes you are! I cannot wait to hear about all the lives you will touch and help (besides the ones you already have and bearing in mind dr/patient confidentiality of course ;)
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
