Dr. Peterson!

May 5th was a close second to the greatest day in our lives. I was and still am so proud!

For the last 8 years I have been with Mitch, school has been a part of our lives. It has been a long, hard road. But, Mitch reached the light at the end of the tunnel.

Mitch is now a Doctor of Physical Therapy.

I was tearing up during his graduation commencement. He has worked so hard. You just don't understand. He has been so diligent and has remained committed to what he wants to do. I don't know how he did it. I couldn't have done it. I was so proud to see him walk in the processional. Because he was part of the doctoral candidates he was the 5th person to walk in and that is when I started to tear up. I cried off an on during the ceremony. I took I would say, a 1,000 pictures. It was just the greatest day.


I am so proud of you Mitchie! You deserve it!


*On a sidenote. Why doesn't anyone ever tell you how hard it is going to be to go through all that schooling? I mean, a lot of people do it and a lot of people we know have and are doing it. I never heard much about it. Well, for those of you who are wondering, it is very hard! It is worth it but it is so hard! I wish someone would have maybe prepared us just a little bit. We were just wingin' it.

Here's to wingin' it!

Congratulations Doctor Peterson!
