Not only is she beautiful inside and out, she graduated with honors.
Graduation ceremony, Columbia S.C.
Class of 2009 !!!
Our Kathryn was accepted into MUSC... the Medical University of South Carolina. It is located in Charleston. The dental program takes 4 years to complete and she is excited about starting the journey to become a dentist.
She'll be joining her sister, Kristin who is starting her 3rd year there.
There's talk of a partnership once they are both finished !!!
As parents, we feel like we hit the jackpot with these two. We couldn't be prouder!
Kathryn is not only beautiful and intelligent, but has a very kind heart and is very talented.
One of her summers as an undergrad, she spent in New Orleans as a volunteer, helping with the relief program. Although it was hard work and the conditions were rough, she expressed that it was the best thing she had ever experienced and gained so much from it.
Did I say she was talented? She has created many pieces of art for us.
This one is of the Tuscan countryside.
She painted these Christmas cactus flowers while in high school.
This is a piece she created using "pointillism". No lines were drawn, only tiny dots. It was inspired from a photo of her and her sister, when they were 2 and 5 years old.
Last year, for Mother's Day she painted this for me and titled it , "A Rose for a Rose"

How proud you must be--I have always stressed the importance of being beautiful on the inside with our daughter--Of course, it doesn't hurt that yours is pretty, smart, and talented too !:) Congraulations to you all!
Congratulations! I know you must be so proud! We had our youngest graduate 2 weeks ago..yippee!! You are blessed with such a beautiful and talented daughter. Have a great weekend! Miss Bloomers/Sonia
It was so nice to read and completely understand how much you love your daughters ... and how proud you are of them. The red tulips were icing on a delicious 'cake.'
Way to go Kathryn, way to go...
Congrats to her! She is beautiful!
That music always gets me all choked up! Lol
I know how proud you are! You did good! It is such a great feeling as a mom to know they are on a good path and that they will be able to support themselves!
Congratulations Katie!
Your daughters look so much alike, isn't it amazing how genetics work?! They are both beautiful girls.
My Katie wanted to be a dentist too until she got her first (and only) filling and decided she couldn't do that to anyone else. She was actually wanting to be an orthodontist but of course she would have had to make it through all the dental training first.
Best of luck to your girls with the rest of their education and their future practice together.
Wow! Two beautiful, smart, and talented daughters. Obviously, they had a fabulous, smart, beautiful, and creative mother! laurie
Oh wow, you have SO much to be proud of with both your girls. Holy cow, but Katie is TALENTED. Her paintings are AMAZING. True treasures, that's for sure.
Congrats Kathryn, and good luck at tooth school!
