This is a ceremony that honors the students for getting into medical school. They had a few speakers that warned them of the highs and lows that they will experience as they go through school. In the end it will all be worth it...that's what they said and I'm taking their word for it and hoping they're right!

And now they wait...it was kind of awkward for all the students because about ten students would go up on stage at a time. They would receive their white coat and then stand there and smile for almost a minute as the camera scanned each student so we (the audience) could see them on the big screen. Because Brayden is a "W" he was in the last group to go up and had plenty of time to think about what he was going to do. There were those that tried to give a big smile, but the time the camera was on them their smile had turned to a forced grin with eyes going from side to side wondering if the camera was off of them yet. Brayden didn't want that to happen to him so he decided he would just do a neutral face...his neutral face somehow ended up looking like a very angry one! It was really funny :)

After the ceremony there was a nice dinner at the Marriott Hotel downtown. We didn't get a picture of the food, but there was a ton of it and it was delicious!
It was an exciting night! Our sweet neighbors watched Liam for us so we got to stay out late and get to know lots of new people.
You looked so gorgeous that night!
