Last night was Trent's graduation dinner from orthodontic residency. It's hard to believe all these years of hard work and jumping through hoops are coming to an end in just two weeks and we will be moving onto real life! Words cannot express how excited we are and also how proud I am of Trent for all his hard work he has put in to accomplish this goal. Last night was a night for celebration! Dinner was at One Twenty Six in Iowa City and was divine, as usual. Here are all the graduating residents and their spouses (Layne and Kristi, Niles and Sarah, Albert and Rachel, Trent and me, and Nathan and Suzanne):
Dr. Karin Southard and Trent. He did orthodontic research with her during dental school and she has been such an amazing support to him. He clicked with her from day one and feels really lucky to have known her:
Dr. Tom Southard (ortho department chair) and Trent:

Don't even ask me what they're doing. It had been a long night!
Trent and Albert:
Tanner (Trent's younger brother in the program) and Trent. Tanner gave a little "roast" to Trent and I had to reflect on how funny it is that all these years later Trent is still being teased for the same things he was roasted for at our wedding dinner (think speeding tickets). It was really cute!
Dr. Southard and all orthodontic residents:
Rachel brought a darling cake for Albert since it was also his 30th birthday! Look how cute!
A rare shot of the two of us:
Congratulations again, Trent! I couldn't be more proud of you!

Congratulations to both you! Trent, for obvious reasons. Em, for holding the fort down. I'm excited for you guys to get movin' to Denver. Can't wait to come and visit you all. Oh, and of course, you need to bring your boys to San Diego some day soon. Legoland, Sea World, the Zoo, and beach are calling your names.
