Dental School Graduation!

I haven't seen a smile as big as Tim's since the day we got married.

The time has finally come for him to become Dr. Timothy C. Schmidt (officially) as he graduated from Oregon Health And Science University School Of Dentistry (after four long years ) on Friday, June 18th. Tim looked great during the graduation ceremony all dressed up in his wizard robes. He was so proud of his matching lilac tie and dental cuff links (lilac is the official color of dentistry). Before they were hooded, all the graduates were addressed by the usual dean speech, alumni association, etc. and Jason Yole's (class president) speech was especially good.

Tim recieved his hood from Dr. Whitley (his bridge group leader) and was awarded his diploma by Dean Clinton.

Tim was little bummed that he didn't win an award as he was 0.1 grade point average away from graduating with honors. He must have been second place for many of the awards given. Just looking at Tim though you could tell that this was his triumphant victory after working so hard.

He was proud to share the moment with his family. Jim & Rosalyn and Arlin & Susan all came up to help him celebrate his special day.

We are both sad to be leaving most of our closest friends.

Happy Graduation to the Class of 2010!
