Happy Graduation, D.D.S!

This past weekend found us in Loma Linda celebrating our SIL, Lindsey, graduating from LLU School of Dentistry. After four years, she is finished and on her way to the working world! The weekend was jam-packed with events.

We decided to take an early Friday morning flight from PDX to SFO which would give us some layover time in SFO. C's co-worker from San Carlos had been in Portland for a few days and was hosting a poker tournament at his house. C did not want to miss it and thought that since we were flying into SFO, it was an opportunity he couldn't pass up. His co-worker was kind enough to allow me to use his car so that I could drive over to Woodside. My turn to do the surprising! It worked out well as I was able to see Stacey, Sonja and Tracy and C was able to spend some time with his previous co-workers and friends as well. We made it back to the airport in plenty of time to catch our flight down to So. Cal.

Saturday morning was a special service at church for all the graduates, then off to lunch at Spaghetti Factory. After dinner and a nap we were on our way again, this time to Andy and Danielle's house. Though the beans had been spilled earlier that day (it was supposed to be a surprise), the baby shower was so much fun! Much of the Anderson family was there along with my big brother, sister-in-law, and niece. More wonderful memories with family, fun and festivities!

Sunday evening brought graduation and the celebration afterward. Lindsey looked beautiful and oh so happy as she crossed the stage to accept her diploma and be congratulated by her mom (also a dentist and LLU graduate!). Congratulations, Lindsey! We love you and are so proud of you!
