Graduation Day

Here's Dave getting ready for the big day. This day has been a long time in the making. Dave & I started our schooling way back in 1998 when I was pregnant with Indy. We'd take a couple of classes here & there (in between working & raising our family). In 2003 we both started school full-time & as Dave's schedule got busier & our family grew, I slowly phased out of being a student. So here we are in 2008 & Dave is finally done. I'm so proud of him!


Here they were announcing the graduates one by one as they entered on the stage to take their seat for the commencement.


Dave receiving his certificate/diploma & shaking hands with the president of the school. The pic below this shows his robe, hood, cap, & gown. The history of the robe & hood dates back to the Middle Ages & were worn by scholars. The colors indicate the school where the degree was earned. Depending what doctorate degree you earn determines what the design is on the robe & sleeves.




Congratulations Dr. David Ray, DC!!!!!!!
