Andrew's Graduation

Wow ... what a weekend! After all of his hard work and dedication, Andrew is officially a doctor! I am so proud of him! We had both of our families here this weekend and I had so much fun cooking, baking and getting to use all of our wedding gifts (that are going to be packed up here pretty soon!) It was really nice to have everyone here - I don't get to play hostess too often because we are usually the ones traveling on the weekends to see our friends and family. Marley loved having all of his favorite people over at the same time, but he is completely wiped out! It is so funny to watch him try so hard to keep his eyes open :)
Now we are just trying to relax and rest up for the week ahead - it will be busy with packing up the apartment (with the help of the movers the army provided ... hooray!) and tying up loose ends here in Springfield. It is hard to believe that moving week is here. I was telling Andrew the other day that it is finally starting to hit me how much I'm going to miss Springfield. I was driving home from the hospital after cleaning out my locker and saying goodbye to some co-workers and I realized how many memories Andrew and I have here. I remember all of the trips we took back and forth between my college (IWU) and Springfield so we could see each other while we were dating ... pretty much every weekend despite the fact that we were in nursing and medical school! :) And our first apartment together is here along with my first big kid job and obviously where Andrew has been going to school for the last three years. I will really miss Springfield, but I'm so excited for new memories in San Antonio!
