This past weekend was a big one for our family. Ryan graduated from Residency on Friday morning. It was a ceremony for all the residency programs at Madigan. I think there were 141 total graduates (either as interns or from the respective programs). Ryan's grandparents came which meant a lot to Ryan. Technically Ryan is still at work at least until this Friday and he doesn't get his certificate until after June 30, but I consider him DONE!! We looked forward to the graduation ceremony but the thing we most looked forward to was the Roast that night!!
Here is Ryan's class!! L-R Melissa, Ryan, Kyle & Sarah. These guys got to be such great friends and were such a close knit class. Melissa is staying at Madigan, Ryan and Kyle are both going onto Fellowship (both in REI) and Sarah is headed to Ft. Bragg. The 3rd year residents are in charge of putting on the roast which consists of videos that make fun of things that happened during a person's four years in residency or sometimes a quirky personality trait. It was fun to laugh and have a good time together. Ryan's parents came and it was fun to share the night with them!!
And let's not forget those significant others that held down the home front during the last four years. We all got along so well, we will really miss each other!!! I am so very proud of Ryan and all the hard work he put in these last four years. He received several awards at the roast including the "Outstanding Resident"Award. He always does so well and works so hard. He deserves all the accolades he gets. Congrats on a job well done Ryan. Love you babe!!!
