White Coat Ceremony - May 5th

David is half way done with dental school! To signify the start of their clinical schooling at the beginning of the Junior year, they have a White Coat Ceremony. This is just an event to signify their milestone in moving more to clinical work and not as much bookwork. It was a lot of fun to see. Now David can work in the clinic at school and put all his skills to work. He has already worked on 3 patients and he really enjoys it. He was a bit stressed this week with it being so new and having to figure out the clinic computers and getting patients scheduled and just working out the kinks, but he is gonna do great. We are excited to be halfway done with school and we realize how fast graduation will come. We love it out here and feel so blessed that he is getting such a good education, that we have great friends out here, we have a great home and we are members of the church. Life is great!
Our little family before the ceremony.

David's parents were able to come out for the occasion and spent some time with us. It was great to have family out here.

Here's the man himself getting his white coat. It symbolizes his move into the health care system. I am so glad he enjoys what he does.

They had to read the student pledge which talks about the type of dentists they will be at Creighton as well as in their professional career.
He was pretty excited:)


This is on the main campus at Creighton. The trees out here are so beautiful in the Spring. But I think I am getting allergies for the first time:(

That is very exciting news. There is nothing more exciting than to be on the other side of the hill looking down at the end. We love you guys. Congratulations, sooner than later to be, Dr. Bailey!
