What a fun week!!! Jeremy started off graduation week by playing Xbox every night with his buddies, and the wives watched girly movies! Jeremy's mom flew in on Tuesday and surprised him...he was shocked, then excited. Friday night the Pharmacy School held a banquet to present each student with a personalized copy of the Oath of a Pharmacist. My parents also surprised Jeremy with a lawn mower for graduation. (YEA, we will have grass to mow very soon!) Graduation started at 10am on Saturday so we got there about 9:15 to get a good seat and take pictures. All the graduates lined up and they rang a giant bell before each college marched in. When they rang the bell for the pharmacy school I got a little teary! Over 2,000 graduates graduated but luckily the doctorate degrees went first, so Jeremy and all his buddies snuck out after they walked!! My boys did really good, thanks to game boys, but I don't think they could have lasted the whole thing. After lots of pictures and a few emotional moments we had a BBQ at my sister in laws house.
We have waited and looked forward to this day for so long, it's hard to believe it's over. I am so proud of Jeremy for working so hard and sacrificing so much of his time for our family. I could never do what he has done. Hard work really does pay off. Dr. Turner in the house!!!
What is life like as a non-student??
The boys. They carried their hoods and were "hooded" on stage. 
The supporters. We yelled REALLY loud!
Smiling because he just graduated. But there's no diploma in there...that costs another $20. Seriously? 
Good job Dad!
The family.
The proud parents.
The whole gang. Friends Forever.
Kiss, kiss, hug, hug. I couldn't help myself!!

Just wanted to let you in on the real un-sugar coated experience!!! He was really good during graduation, he just hasn't learned yet how many pictures his mommy likes to take!!
