Jerry's White Coat Ceremony

whitecoat dip3 Well, let's just say I couldn't be more proud of my husband! Many hours of studying, stress, and prayers have gone into this jacket and he completely deserves it! The White Coat symbolizes the transition of pre-clinical studies to clinical studies (Yes, he will have patients in a month! Eek! ) and to serve as a humbling reminder that he & his classmates are responsible for the oral health of North Carolina & beyond. This milestone means he can start earning the trust of patients as he takes care of their pearly whites! I couldn't be more thankful to have such a determined, smart, and ambitious partner in crime! Here's to 3 more years of friends, family, hours of studying, & teeth!

I love you & I'm so proud of you! :)

a self-portrait.

This is a self-portrait...that wasn't shot by me, but rather some awesome photographers. Or as we'd call each other #badass #fotoninjaz. This project was for my black & white film photography class. I'm quite certain thousands of hours went into that darkroom for this one, but it was well worth it to just stare in awe at the fotoninjaz' work. I love each and every one of you guys and am so blessed to be surrounded by so much creativity!

Thank you all so much! It was one of the best projects I've done because it allowed me to experience the scrutiny of the lens, learn to relax, and learn to trust others more!
