Seriously, I have one foxy, foxy Doctor for a hubby!!

We are so proud of Zach. I can't believe he's finally finished, it feels like he's been in school for this forever. I cannot tell you all how perfect this profession is for my husband- he was born to care for animals, he is so incredibly gifted in this arena. It was so exciting to watch him be recognized as a Doctor, something he so deserves. As big a weekend as it's already been for Zach, it's going to be an even bigger one for his Dr. BFF- Chris. Chris and Crystal- who met in Vet School are tying the knot on Saturday and Zach is a groomsman... I am so excited for these two as well. Chris was one of Zach's first friends in the class and Crystal is such a sweetheart- they're perfect together. I'm so, so happy for these blessed people. 

You'll notice that a number of us were wearing ribbons with a sign attached-- Aunt Darlene made them, and they each said:

Ask me about my , who has a bunch of initials behind his name. 

They were really funny. 

Can you believe it... my husband is a DOCTOR!!!
