Doctor Doctor and A/C Windows

IS there a doctor in the house? Maybe not in the house, but there are TWO new doctors in our family as my sister and her husband BOTH just graduated from Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine. Libby and I had the opportunity to travel up to Blacksburg, VA on Friday to see the two of them accept their highly honored certifications. Our travels, as usual for us now, were quite adventurous. We left Friday morning with our first leg of our flight going into Chicago. We arrived there around 12:30pm to the surprise of it being only around 50 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Quite chilly compared to the 85 degree weather we left in Texas. Our next flight was supposed to leave at 2:15pm. Needless to say, the plane was down for maintenance. We didn't end up getting to leave til 6:30pm. During our six hour lay-over, we met an assortment of interesting people. One of those amusing people being Anita; a lady who later we would find would be sitting on our row. Imagine, if you will, a blond-in-a-bottle hair style, middle-aged, free spirited sanguine with an very low tolerance to alcohol. She, to our amusement, was offered an invitation to a local in-airport bar to soothe over her anger for being delayed so long for her flight home to Roanoke, VA. The guy who invited her to the bar, unfortunately, gave her just a tad bit too much to drink than she is used to, which opened up her personality vibrantly. When she met is, she instantly fell in love with our personalities and we became, in her words, "friends." She was sure to let EVERYBODY around her know that we were her "friends." She was a hoot and entertained us in her stupor on our two hour flight.
After arriving, finally, in Roanoke, VA at 9:30pm, we were picked up at the airport by my dad and sister, then drove to our hotel where we mingled with family who were also staying at our hotel. It was nice to see relatives again under happier times this time around. My sister and her husband were happy to see family too, but were even MORE happy to finally be graduating. On Saturday we witnessed the commencement of 180+ doctors receiving their hoods and certificates as they were announced across the stage. CONGRATS YOU GUYS! We love you and are so proud of you!

As far as the progress on our house goes, last Tuesday they had finished putting in all the windows in the house. On Wednesday, we went out there and they were working on finishing the shingles til 8pm that night. We had the opportunity to also meet one of our future neighbors that night too. They were a nice couple who just moved in their home in March. We just went out there this afternoon and they had finished putting in our Atrium door to the back yard along with all the A/C ducting lines and A/C itself throughout. Below are some updated photos of the progress.

Also to our amusement, the SPEC home next to us was being framed when we went out to check on the progress of our home.
