The graduate

June 18th was one glorious day, a day I thought we might never see. After 5 years of a super tough residency Jared finally graduated!!
Woohoo!

We are so excited to be done with that part of our lives. Residency is tough and I didn't even have to do it!! There were definitely a few bumps along the way and times where I didn't think we would make it here but we did.

Definitely excited to be done!!

It was so great to have Jared's parents there. That was probably one of the busiest, stressful weeks of my life and it was nice to have them there. They helped out with so much from cleaning the apt to watching Kailie for us. Thank You both so much, there is no way we would have gotten everything done with out you both!

Our dear friend Mike! He has had a really rough residency and we are so proud that he graduated as well. He was a member of our ward and came over every Monday for FHE, it helped us to actually do FHE and Kailie loved him!

This is Dr. Roofe who we love and was a huge influence on Jared. He was such a great mentor and supporter all the way through. He is one of the main reasons Jared decided to do facial plastics. We love him!!

Mark and Lei. Mark was Jared's partner at work and it was so nice having him there. He was such a huge support to Jared in all things from work stuff to Bishop stuff to family life. We definitely would not have made it through with out Mark. He definitely sacrificed a lot to help Jared fulfill all of his duties and we are grateful to him!

This is all the residents in the ENT program right now. They have all been so supportive and great to us, from lifting some of the burdens for Jared and stepping in when Kai was diagnosed so Jared could stay home and help. They were all so amazing and we are grateful for all their support.


I am so proud of Jared! He worked his butt off literally and finished with flying colors. When he was called as the Bishop he received a lot of opposition from a few of his bosses and I loved that he proved them wrong. He put the Lord first and was blessed by it. That definitely doesn't mean that it was easy by any means, in fact the months where he was Bishop were probably the hardest months of his whole five years but he made it.

P.S. Just gotta add that I love fellowship, sooo much better than residency!!
