Dr. Bradley Smith

It is official there is a Dr. Smith in the house! After four years Brad finished his dream to become a dentist -only to realize that he wants to be an orthodontist. We are all so proud of him and all the hard work he has put into these past four years. In a way it is bittersweet because all of our friends from Brad's school are all packing up and moving all over the U.S. , but at the same time it is one step closer to being done with school. The two weeks before graduation have been jam packed. The first week was Brad's WREB test where he had to preform 2 fillings, 2 root canals, and 1 scaling and root planing. This was the most important and stressful tests that Brad had to complete. He did such a good job and passed them all. The week of graduation was not full of stress, rather just full of activites. On Thursday we had the awards ceremony in the morning. Brad was awarded the "Outstanding Dental Student in Implant Dentistry." He was very surprised by the award; however I was not.

The next event was the Founders Ball that evening. This was the first time that I have not been with Tanner to put him down and so I was a little nervous to say the least- even though we had a wonderful babysitter (Brad's mom). Tanner did so good and I am not sure he even missed us one bit-and that is one of the reasons we all love grandmas. Brad and I had so much fun getting dressed up and going to the ball- and Tanner had taught us some new dance moves to use that night.
Saturday June 13th was the actual graduation- and could not have been more perfect. Some of Brad's brothers and sisters were able to make it to graduation and Brad's dad was even able to "hood" him.
