Half Way There

Last weekend Landon received his white coat at the White Coat Ceremony.  It is a pretty big deal.  He will now be working in the dental clinic at the school and working on his own patients.  How much closer to being a dentist could he get?  Two more years actually...but he is half way there!  He still has classes but now he gets to do stuff on real people.  I tend to not make a big deal out of things but I got a little emotional as the white coat was put on him.  He has worked hard to get to this point and it was a neat ceremony that symbolized this transition into this next phase.  What is life going to be like when he isn't a student anymore?  I almost can't imagine it but it really is getting closer.  Not that life will all of a sudden be so much easier, because it won't, but it will be different and sometimes change is good.  It was also really neat that his parents could fly out for the weekend and be there for the event.  They deserve their very own post!
