Nik's White Coat Ceremony

Every year the first year students have a ceremony called the "White Coat Ceremony." It is to congratulate them for getting into school, but also to show them that they are professionals and are to act accordingly.


Ian did sooooooo good during the ceremony, but this is how he felt afterward! =) I don't blame him we were sitting in our seats for about 3 1/2 hours!

This is Nik getting his white coat put on him! They put them on all the students. The guy on Nik's right is the Dean of the Dental School, and on the left the assistant Dean.

These are all the dental students that Nik carpools with, studies with, hangs out with... basically spends A LOT of time with! We love living out here in Surprise with these guys (and their wives!)

Nik's parents were able to come down for a few days and attend his ceremony! It was so nice to have them!!



The ceremony itself was a tad boring (after all they had over 800 students to put coats on from all the different schools Midwestern has (dental, medical, podiatry etc.), but we survived and it was a great opportunity for us to see Nik's school, see who he goes to school with, celebrate that we are here, and of course... take lots of Pictures!!! =)

I bet you can't wait until you are at the ceremony when he is all done with school. I bet Ian was glad to have grandparents come visit. Can't wait to see you guys in a few weeks.
