White Coat Ceremony-UTMB 2010

In medical school they always have a white coat ceremony before the

first year med students begin. Then at the end of medical school they have 

another ceremony when they are actually MD's and they get the 'long coat'.

You can distinguish a DR from a student by the length of their coat by the way.

Anyway, it was great to have Jordan's family here to celebrate and share this very special

occasion. I can't help it, I had to cry when I saw Jordan walk across that stage and 

get his white coat. It was about 5 years ago that he told me he wanted to be a DR.

I thought he was sort of joking, but he said, 'no really, I'm being serious, its something

I've always wanted to do, and I know that God is calling me to it-so I'm going to 

go for it'. It feels like that was forever ago....and look where we are now.

Jordan is doing great in medical school (by the way-since he's been in over a month now)

He had his first test a couple weeks ago and did fabulous!!

His schedule is pretty much this (it does vary on some days):

Works out at 6am-7am (crazy i know!)

Goes to class and Anatomy lab around 8-12

Lunch break=)

POM (practice of medicine) from 2-5

And then from 5-10pm he studies!!!

Yes, he takes the dinner break and we watch Andy Griffith,

it is so eventful=) But its the little things right?

I just thought some people might be interested, or curious in what his day to day is like.

And if you think he just relaxes on the weekend, think again! We usually

do something at night, but ALL day he studies. Of course we sleep in on

Saturday morning and Sunday morning is church, but the rest of the 

time its study study study!! 

I am SO grateful for our house though. It really is a blessing. The reason being

is b/c Jordan has a nice big study room in the back where he can't hear

what's going on in the rest of the house. And also b/c its so close to school

we get to have people over a lot and its very convenient for him!

Anyway, enough babbling, here are the pictures from the White Coat Ceremony:

We are definitely getting out money out of this Air Force uniform=)

I'm just kidding, he wanted to wear it since he is in there for medical

school, it seemed fitting.

SUPER HANDSOME!

Apparently I enjoy taking pictures of him walking off...

Anyway, he's going to turn RIGHT on this street here and the medical school

is literally right there!! so close=)

SWEEEEEEEET.

Hayden was mystified! =)

We got this.

With his family!

So there is one other student in Jordan's class that is in the Air Force, his name

is Phil! They were actually both at COT this summer in AL for training!!

Anyway, Phil and Amanda just got married and they live across the street from us=)

We have a lot of fun with them!!

Lots of fun!!!

Future Dr. Carl   (woot woot!)

I LOVE this pictures of us! And I am so proud of my husband!!

Don't worry, this is the last post about Jordan for awhile=) He's too busy to be in

pictures anymore anyway, lol.
