Award Ceremony

Wednesday morning we attended the MUSC college of medicine awards ceremony. Stephen was recognized as a member of the Gold Humanism Honor Society and a Alpha Omega Alpha member. He was also given the President's Clinical Sciences Award which he was nominated for by his peers. Stephen has done so well and I am so proud of all his hard work!

Home Owners

It is official. On Tuesday we drove up to Greenville to close on our house. It was a very exciting day. We met with the lawyer and poor Stephen had to sign literally over 100 pages. I couldn't believe how much paperwork there was. Afterward, we went back to the house and just hung out together. We won't move in for a while but we did leave a few things there to make it our own. 

On a humorous note, as we were leaving we couldn't get the garage door to go down on its own. We were only home owners for a few hours and already having issues. We actually had to go knock on the neighbor's door to get some help. At least we already met someone in the neighborhood : )

 

Becca's Wedding Shower

The weekend before last, our small group hosted a wedding shower for Craig and Becca at the Caldwell's.  We had a wonderful time honoring this special couple. Less than two weeks until the big day!

Becca's Bachelorette Weekend

I am quite late with this post, but better late than never. A few weeks ago we did a girls weekend in Edisto to celebrate Becca and her future marriage. Her parents were kind enough to let a ton of girls all take over their beach house. We had a great weekend walking on the beach, laying out on the deck, swinging on the porch and just being together. It was a wonderful weekend of fellowship and honoring Becca. We love you girl!

Happy Easter!

Matthew 28: 1-10

Jesus Has Risen

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.

There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”
