The Start of a New Chapter.....

Here's the rest of the story as promised.......

We could honestly not believe the day had come!  Four grueling years of hard work, dedication, and perseverance had paid off, and he was officially Dr. Curtis Shannon Gaylord.  And let's just say, for the record, I could not have been more proud! 

So, for the last time, we loaded up the car and headed to Memphis to start the festivities.  Here are a few pictures from the weekend......


The weekend, however, did not end there....
Once the graduation festivities were over, the 3 day moving extravaganza began!  We headed over to Curt's condo where we spent the rest of the day cleaning, packing boxes, and loading up the moving truck.  We ended the day with dinner at Rendez-vous (Curt's favorite Memphis BBQ spot), and rested up for the next leg of the trip.  The next morning we said our goodbyes to 245 Madison Avenue, and made our way to our humble abode in Homewood.  Our crew did not skip a beat.  Once everything was unloaded, we headed to Knoxville to rest up, say goodbye to our dear friends Tommy and Noelle, and load up our stuff from our temporary Knoxville home (aka their basement).  The next morning we were a little worse for wear, but with the help of great friends, we loaded up the moving truck one last time, and made the final trek back to Homewood.  Here are a few pictures of our new home and our fearless moving crew.....



A big thank you to everyone who helped us that weekend!  We could not have done it without you!

We have spent the last 3 months working on our home and adjusting to the world of residency.  We still have a lot to learn, but we are loving every minute of our life here in Homewood, and are excited to share it with you!
