On Thursday afternoon, I left work early and headed for College Station, Tx to see Charles graduate from veterinary school. For those of you that don't know, Charles' wife, Kim, and I were roommates for a short time in college before we both got engaged, we graduated together with the same degree, and we became great friends...so I have felt the challenges they've endured while he was going through the rigorous curriculum to become a vet. First of all, I followed another good friend and her husband into town and we all sat together during the ceremony. It was so great being back in College Station, even though I was just there for the evening. It brought back so many great memories, and made me wish that Kurt and I were still in school there - livin' the easy life...maybe minus the studying, but it was the best time of our lives! Back to the graduation - the ceremony was so great. To put it into perspective, Texas A&M is ranked as one of the best vet schools in the country and there are not many vet schools in the United States, so to graduate with your D.V.M. from Texas A&M is definitely something to be proud of. I'm not biased at all! After the ceremony, Charles' parents hosted a fabulous dinner at The Republic Steakhouse, and when I "rolled" out of that place, I headed back to Houston. Kurt wasn't able to get off work to come with me, but I know he wishes he could have made it. We are so happy for Kim and Charles and are very excited that they'll be moving closer to us soon!!!

What an exciting time!! I know what you mean about being back in school. It was a simpler time for sure (minus studying for bio/chem). I'm so excited to see everyone in 20 more days!!!!
