Today Tyler was presented with his first White Coat and as I sit here and reflect upon our journey to this point... I am moved. Tyler has really had to work hard to get here. As a pre-med student he pulled the grades and passed the tests, volunteered in the community by serving the homeless youth, the uninsured, and assault victims. He spent hours looking over the shoulder of practicing Physicians during reconstruction surgeries and pediatric check-ups, and worked with cardiac rehab patients in the hospital. But the amazing thing about Tyler is that even after being turned down twice he never lost sight of his dream! His passion for medicine grew stronger and stronger over the years and no matter how high the bar was raised he was going to reach it. Tyler has a great passion for life and yes it comes out in every aspect from the iphone, to training for triathlons, and of course his deep desire to be a physician. Tyler, I’m so proud of you! You have truly earned this great privilege and I know your passion will continue to drive you to achieve your goals. I love you so much and I’m so thankful to be with you!Friday, August 22, 2008

Mom's 50th Birthday
This past weekend was my Mom's 50th Birthday and we played for 3 days straight! We boated, tubed, and surfed then went to a Jon Schmit concert, had a BBQ, painted a huge birthday sign, played some crazy golf, got pedicures, 3 dozen ballons, and a huge cake with 50 candles! But the best part of it all was spending time with my Mom and seeing her with a constant smile on her face! Mom you are a perfect example of what a mother should be! Thank you so much for always being there for all of us... WE LOVE YOU!
