Doctorate!!!!

Do you know what is better than one doctor in the house? Two!!! I could not be more proud of my dear friend Michelle. She is a superwoman that not only got her doctorate, she did it during a pandemic with her daughter home 24-7, and a new puppy to boot! I can’t tell you how fun it was to take photos of two robed Doctors! Everyone yelling their congrats! Such a cool experience!
