Graduation

After the wedding and honeymoon, I returned to Davenport, Iowa to graduate from Palmer College of Chiropractic. I graduated in October 2004 with my Doctor of Chiropractic Degree. It was quite an accomplishment, and I was thrilled to be finished with the grueling program. My parents, in-laws, and brothers came to see me graduate. Thomas could not attend my graduation due to school commitments. :(

Here is my brother and I. Alan is also a chiropractor. He has a practice in Arkansas. At Palmer, if you have relatives that are chiropractors, they can participate in the graduation ceremony and hand you your diploma. Alan made the trip from Arkansas to give me my diploma.
(yep, my eyes are closed. I didn't get a pic of Alan and I with my eyes open.)

My parents also attended my graduation. This was their third time attending graduation at Palmer. All three of us children have graduated from Palmer.
