Justin passed his National Board Exams, officially making him a Doctor of Dental Surgery! What do we do now?! Do we laugh?! Do we cry?! Do we just start packing???! :)
It's an unbelievable feeling to describe when our years as a student family are coming to a close. The journey is coming to an end, the hard work has met it's reward, and all that is left is graduation.
I'll never forget the day Justin was accepted to Dental School. He raced down the steps of old main hill, and burst through the door with our good news. We shared tears together that day, and there have been many tears shed since. We have struggled to achieve this dream. The stakes have been high, and we have paid the price. What a victory!
The magnitude of this achievement continues to set in as we thaw from a deep freeze.
To say that I am proud of Justin would never give justice to my true admiration. What a journey it has been. I am thrilled to be at his side, to be the first to celebrate and congratulate him.
We're grateful as we think of this journey coming to a close, and are excited, optimistic and hopeful as we begin the next chapter of our lives.
Congratulations, Dr. Madsen.

As weird as this may seem, I also remember the day Justin was accepted! I was in my kitchen at our temple hill apartment when Jason received the call from his big brother. So excited and thrilled for you both. What an accomplishment. Congratulations to you both as this chapter comes to an end! Jason and I are both grateful for Justin example of hard work and dedication. All our love!
Now, we have some teeth that need cleanin ;)
