Surgery Department Graduation Dinner

On Friday, Scott and I attended the annual Surgery Department dinner, honoring the graduates of the residency program here at Virginia Tech. We had a very nice evening! I will admit that I was a little bummed that I couldn't drink a glass of wine or champagne, but c'est la vie! There's always next year. {Also, that black dress did a pretty good job of hiding my sizable baby bump! I'm 26 weeks.}

Perhaps the biggest surprise of the evening was that Scott, after being last year's recipient of the Junior Resident Award (awarded to first and second years) was this year's recipient of the Senior Resident Award (awarded to third through fifth years). I was so proud of him, for winning this prestigious award as a third year resident. He works so, so hard! This award is voted on by all surgical faculty in the program.

We sat with our dear friends, and had a wonderful time laughing and catching up! I can't believe we have two years left. That might not seem like a lot, but for some reason, it does to me right now. I keep thinking "two whole years left" instead of "just two years left!" I'll turn my attitude around, I promise! ;)

It was a fun evening, celebrating the graduates and spending time with friends!
