I'm not sure I can even put into words how I am feeling....incredibly proud, relieved, excited, happy, a little nervous for the future, thrilled...
HE DID IT!!
On Friday, May 20th, 2011 Adam became
DR. ADAM BARRY RUDD O.D.!!
I am so incredibly proud of him and of us as a family. Four years of hard work, long hours and intense study, not to mention juggling family life as well. Becoming a doctor on your own is definitely an accomplishment, but become a doctor while also being an incredible husband and father deserves some kind of metal. I did spend a lot of time as a "single mom" and we missed Adam like crazy during his long hours at school, studying and externing, but I can honestly say that it has been a wonderful four years. This whole experience has been such an adventure for us! Moving to Memphis, making friends that will forever feel like family, and growing so much as a family.
Check me out...I'm a doctors wife! :)
I am so incredibly proud of this handsome guy,
These cute kids are so lucky to have Dr. Rudd as their dad!
We sat in the balcony during the actual ceremony and the kids watched and waited for Adam's name to be called. When they announced "Dr. Adam Barry Rudd" it was quiet except for one cute little boy voice yelling, "GO DADDY!" The audience even gave a collective "awww..." It was perfect!
8 years ago it was just the two of us. When we moved the Memphis we were a small family of 3.5.
We're so lucky to have added two southern bells to the family and to have been able to experience this adventure together!
It was so fun to have Adam's parents and his sister here for the graduation.
My parents even made the trip. Fitting, since my dad was the first one to mention, right after High School graduation, that Adam would be great at the family business.
The SCO Mormon Boys
And the Wives
Graduates and Dr. Dan Smith
The kids brought Adam this fun graduation balloon and had so much fun helping me create this candy card. We love you Dr. Rudd and are so incredibly proud of you!
