White Coat Ceremony

I am so proud of Chris!
For those who do not know Chris is now attending Podiatry school at Western University of Health Science in Pomona, CA.

So last week Chris got to participate in his White Coat Ceremony. It was a neat event and was nice to hear some encouraging words before he starts out on this long journey. Here are some facts about school:

• This is the INAUGURAL year for the Podiatry School at this University
• There are about 35 students in his class (of 2013)
• School is 4 years long (after which he will participate in a 3 year residency)
• He attends class with Students in the other colleges - such as DO (same as MD), Dental, Optometry, PA, and more!
  
• There are about 10 LDS members in his class (which is wonderful to instantly have a network of friends!)
• They take their classes in BLOCKS...so until Halloween all Chris will take is Gross Anatomy.
  

I am so excited for Chris, but I know this will be a long, and sometimes difficult, road. Everyone who met me from the Faculty said something to the effect: "Oh.. good luck, you won't see you husband for like 7 years!". WHOA! But I know we will make tie for each other and make sure their is balance in our lives.
