White Coat Weekend

This weekend was so great that we were actually pretty sad when it all ended. Friday William was in school till about 5:00 and I also had to work. As soon as we were done, we ran and got William a haircut, and then came back to make last minute cleaning adjustments! My aunt, cousin, and grandma got here around 6:30 and we went and ate dinner at the lonestar (and it was probably the best steak I have ever had). We came back and hung out, looked at pictures, etc and went to bed because we had to get up at the crack of dawn for william's ceremony. He had to be there at 8:30 on saturday morning so our family that came in that morning had to leave their houses at 6:00am! What dedication that was! The ceremony was absolutely perfect. They gave some history of the school, one speaker talked about the medical profession, and then they actually got their white coats. Here are some pictures:

It's almost William's turn: He was color coordinated so well with a wake forest tie!

And some family pictures afterwards:

My aunt, cousin, and grandma, along with William's family left Satruday afternoon. We stopped by the mall with them before they left which is always fun! My parents stayed the night and sunday after we got up, ate breakfast, and lounged around, we grabbed lunch and took it out to salem lake. After we ate lunch and walked around a bit, Mom and dad left and William and I went on the longest walk we've ever been on. We walked the trail around the lake which is multiple miles long. Needless to say, we were dead when we were done. Here are some pictures from the lake:

It was a beautiful walk, and we ended up being out there for like 4 hours, then we ran regular errands like the grocery store and came home. We had such a great time this weekend and we're actually feeling kind of bummed that we have to return to reality. My parents brought us some stuff, William's parents gave him a new watch and they brought me lots of birthday presents, we went out to eat a few times, and we just had a blast sharing where we live with our families!
