The proudest hubby on the block Posted by Keith , Sunday, May 9, 2010 at 11:16 PM, in

Time to take a quick break from the normal blog content. This post contains no science content, no reference to our baby, and no attempt at subtle witty humor, but if you're only ever going to read one post on this blog, i hope it is this one.

Today, Liz graduated from vet school, and official became Dr. Elizabeth Myers, D.V.M. Today marked the end of fours years of the most grueling academic marathon ever conceived. People who haven't been through it just don't understand what it really is like. Vet school is an 18-20 hour/day job. No, that's not a typo, that's per day. There are no weekends, no holidays, and sleep really is considered an optional activity. I've been here every day doing everything I can do to try and help, and I honestly believe that I don't even know just how grueling it really has been.

Impressively, Liz didn't just get by; she excelled. She stayed focused, kept her head down and kept moving forward until finally reaching today's inevitable conclusion. She's passed every obstacle with intense determination and handled every hardship with grace.

It would be hard to find anyone more proud of their spouse than I am today. Congratulations Liz! Enjoy the celebration. You've earned every minute of it.
