White coat ceremony

Last Friday was the official white coat ceremony. All the medical student received their first "doctor's white coat"! It was a really nice event. Spencer's parents, Grandparents, and My Dad and Natalie came to the event! We started the day by picking up my Dad, Chad, and Natalie at the airport and then having a picnic at the part in Pullman. We introduced our favorite family game--Frisbee golf! It was a blast! We then piled into our van (all 8 of us) and showed the family both campuses (U of I and WSU) which Spencer attends. Then we relaxed in our cozy apartment until dinner. Dinner was delicious (we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant here in town) and then were off to the big event.

Each semester the students spend 3 hours a week shadowing a doctor. Spencer's doctors weren't able to make it and so one of his instructors gave him his coat. His instructor gave some impressive remarks about Spencer and told him he will make a great Doctor!!! He commented on how well he has done this semester and how impressed he was with how Spencer has dealt with the unexpected health issues we have had lately (that being diabetes).

Thanks family for coming to Moscow for this special event! We had so much fun with all of you and you definitely made the event more special! We are so proud of Spencer and all the hard work he has put in this year. Although school life has been extremely consuming, he always finds time for our family and puts us before his studies! What a great man! Love ya Spencer!
