Today was a big day in the Fluhman house. Ben graduated Des Moines University with a doctorate in Podiatric Medicine. It was amazing. I am so very proud of him and all that he has accomplished and sacrificed over the last four years. I wish I could say that the hardest part was behind us but I am pretty scared of what lays ahead with residency. Despite the LONG 3 hour ceremony (with 3 kids), I was overwhelmed with happiness, joy, pride, and sting of sadness.
CONGRATULATIONS
Doctor Daddy! We love you so very much!
Waiting for the ceremony to start
This was our view from the VERY back
Ben getting hooded
(The family in front of us stood up right as they read Ben's name. I was busy trying to get them to sit down so I could take a picture that I didn't even really see Ben walk across and get hooded. Really people?!?!? Of all the times to stand up.)
Our proud little family!
Ben & his wonderful parents! We were so happy that
they were able to be out here with us to celebrate.
