I wish I could say that I feel this huge sense of relief, but really the next five years are going to be just as hard. I do feel proud though. I am incredibly proud of my husband for accomplishing his dream of becoming a physician. And I am proud of our family for making it through this together and making the most of some really stressful and difficult times.
This whole past week was pretty full of different graduation activities. Unfortunately due to weather and a class play we weren't able to participate in the family stuff, but Josh and I were able to get away Thursday night for the banquet. We went with our good friends Todd and Heidi. We have been lucky to have them in the same ward at church with us. Josh and Todd talked medical stuff in between meetings, and Heidi and I commiserated whenever possible. It was really great to have a friend who knew exactly what I was going through and we will miss them tons.
Somehow Josh and I ended up with Heidi's camera when the banquet was over, and things got a little silly.
OK, moving on to graduation. I know these pictures will be boring to most of you, but for me they represent a huge milestone for our family.

Walking across the stage to get his empty diploma. Why exactly do they do that?
All finished, and very happy!
With his Mom and Dad
The happy couple!
And I can't talk about Josh's graduation without thanking all of our supportive family, especially Josh's parents who let us live with them when we first moved out here, and who have done so much for us over the past four years. I'm not sure if it's going to be harder on our kids or them when we move.
We did it! (Que Dora's song)

Congrats to Josh on becoming Dr. Josh. And to you too for making it without ending up in a padded room!! wahoo!
You should've done Dora's "we did it" dance (and no, for everyone out there who's mind went to the gutter that is NOT what I mean!) and taken a video!!
That is awesome! The shameless Dora plug shows just how much you have had to put up with these past four years! haha. BTW, You and Heidi look great.
PS. Hey, I said all those nice things and now your word verification wants me to type psyco. Well, I'll do it because we are friends, but don't consider it an admission.
Congratulations! That is a big milestone Mr. and Mrs. Doctor Rollins. You both look so happy. Good luck with all of the big changes coming up. I know the Lord will bless you. Love you guys.
Yay! Congrats, what an amazing accomplishment, of course for Josh but for your whole family too. You're an amazing wife of a med student turned doctor! We're so happy for you guys.
we did have fun on this journey... who would have thought we would say that at the end of 4 years med school? So now think of the next 5 it's got to be great, right? I hope...I pray...
