A Very Special Day

Friday, May 9th at 1:00 p.m. Henrik received his Master's of Science in Nursing from the University of Minnesota! He's a Gopher Alum now!!!

The beautiful auditorium was filled to capacity and overflowing as the families and friends of 708 Master and Doctoral candidates gathered to celebrate commencement.

Here's our proud graduate with his buddy Chris. These two really supported and encouraged each other during the past 24 months. Chris and his wife Jen will be taking a position in Wisconsin - we will miss them!

Thank you so much to Auntie Stacy who watched E & N all afternoon so I could enjoy celebrating with Henrik. You can check out the fun they had with cousin T ,"Hangin' Out With The Boys".

Now we only have a few more weeks of Anesthesia clinicals until graduation from the anesthesia program June 13th. Then we'll be officially DONE!! Hooray!!

Hip Hip Hurray to the Bjorndahl family for completing yet another chapter of "memories" as your mom would say! Henrik you have worked incredibly hard and Carrie you have been so important to him in this journey the past two years. We can't wait to have you in Alexandria but this "otter" is not ready to call you a "cardinal" yet. :)

This is so exciting! Congratulations to all of you on this huge accomplishment, and Henrik, I bet it feels a little strange to be done. Now, a busy month of finishing up everything, packing and moving. Wow! Want to take a trip to California to unwind?? :)
